As described in a film magazine reviews,[3] Katherine Emerson, a young county woman, is on a train to New York City when it is wrecked. She comes into possession of a purse of a victim, the mistress of a wealthy bachelor. She replaces the dead woman in the home of the bachelor, who is in Europe. An unexpected visit from her family forces her to pretend to be the wife of the wealthy bachelor. The mother cables the bachelor as a result of a growing friendship with a refined young society man. He returns unexpectedly and insists that she continue to play the game. Katherine threatens to tell her folks of her folly, but the bachelor sets things aright by taking her to the minister.
With no copies listed in any film archives,[4]A Slave of Fashion is considered lost.[5]
