In a small Virginia town, Faith Corey, daughter of a socially prominent family, meets and falls in love with Jerry Malone, a prizefighter. However, Faith's straitlaced mother wants her to marry Siegfried, a spellbinding "missionary reformer." While Grandma Corey promotes the romance with Malone, Mike, the fighter's hardboiled, wisecracking manager, tries to keep them apart. Following a quarrel, Faith reconciles herself to marrying Siegfried. He invites a group of "weak sisters" to a revival meeting, and is disgraced when one accuses him of her downfall. Finally, with Mike's advice, Jerry wins back Faith and they are united with the family's blessings.
