Another of the "lost" films of director Edward Sloman, Money Isn't Everything was based on Beauty to Let, a short story by Fred Jackson. Despite her dazzling beauty, heroine Margery (Margarita Fischer) hasn't a brain in her head, and thus is willing to marry wimpish Franklyn Smith (Jack Mower) for love rather than money. The young couple's every marital move is monitored by Margery's domineering aunt Betty Nan (Kate Price). Tired of being used and taken for granted, Franklyn proves he's "all man" by saving Margery and Betty Nan from the villainous machinations of one Henry P. Rockwell (J. Norris Foster), who holds a forged document laying claim to the heroine's estate. Apparently, director Sloman worked far more copacetically with Margarita Fischer than with his previous leading lady, Mary Miles Minter.
