The Brat (1919)

"In the charity homes, in the chorus, and in the dark haunts of the city's slums- people called her "THE BRAT" She never knew any other name."

An unkempt chorus girl is arrested on a minor charge. In court, she is spotted by a novelist who is looking for someone of her type on whom to model a character in a book he is writing. He takes her into his home where she is looked down upon by his snobbish family. But the girl brings something to the family unlike anything they have known before.
