A Gentleman's Agreement

• Watchlist

Ruth Nolan, employed in a broker's office, is the sole support of her aged mother. Resenting her employer's advances she is discharged. In an exhausted condition, brought on by bodily privation, she is found by Richard Folsom, director of the Star Moving Picture Company. Folsom, impressed by her beauty, offers her a position. Sidney Bowen, Folsom's leading man, has saved his life, and Folsom in his gratitude offers Bowen anything he may possess at any time Bowen may want it. They make a gentleman's agreement to this effect and put it in writing. Little does either of them realize, when this gentleman's agreement is made, how it is to influence the greatest passion of their lives, when it shall stand a menacing specter between Ruth Nolan and Folsom.
