Plot: Mona and Mary save Stella a former chorus girl from death, and after hearing her pitiful story determine to deal justice to Holbrook, a fashionable man-about-town and cause him to right the wrong he has committed. By a clever ruse Mona succeeds in placing herself in Holbrook's path and he becomes smitten with her, planning in his vanity to use her as he had Stella. At a gay New Year's Eve party Mona and Holbrook, by well-planned accident, meet Mary and the combined parties decide to finish the night at "The Little Monte Carlo," a supposed fashionable gambling house which has really been fitted out by "The Social Pirates" as a trap for Holbrook. The first step in their scheme is successful and Holbrook is separated from a goodly sum of money, which places him in a position to fall a ready victim to the further snares of the sharp-witted girls. There is excitement and laughs in the succeeding scenes which show Holbrook induced by a clever ruse to make Stella his bride, a step that he thinks he is taking voluntarily and to aid his own selfish plans.
