The Town Scandal plot
When Jean Crosby, a Broadway chorus girl, visits her sister in Murphysburg, she discovers that not only has her brother-in-law, Lysander Sprowl, squandered all the money she sent, but also that the leading male citizens, all members of the Purity League , who were once friendly to her in New York, now don't give her a second glance. However, with the help of newspaperman Toby Caswell, she anonymously publishes her life story in the town newspaper, scaring the men into offering Jean "hush money." However, Jean refuses their bribe.
