As described in a film magazine review,[4] Elliot Worthington falls in love with and weds Myra Hastings, the maid to his wealthy sister Mrs. Van Pelt. Myra is coldly received in society. Shocked by the hypocrisy and infidelities of the society men and women she encounters, she leaves. Her husband, who really loves her, follows and saves her when her foot becomes lodged in a railroad track switch. They are reconciled and face a happy future together.
With no prints of The Wanters located in any film archives,[5] it is a lost film.
