Plot
While at West Point, Bob Denton rebuffs Evelyn Palmer, who shows up later as the wife of his commanding officer in Arizona. Denton gets involved in a romantic relationship with Evelyn's younger sister. To keep him from marrying her sister, Evelyn falsely accuses Denton of sexually harassing her, which leads to his being kicked out of the academy. She later learns that he and her sister were already secretly married, however, which leads her to admit her lie about him to her husband, who then reinstates the framed Denton.
