When Wallace Graham marries Margery, Patricia Chase, who is in love with Wallace despite the fact that she is married, tries to break up the marriage by making Wallace suspicious of Stanhope's intentions. When a baby is born to Margery, Patricia leads Wallace to believe that Stanhope is the child's father. To further worsen matters between the Grahams, Patricia arranges for Wallace to be arrested for embezzlement. After he is released from jail, Wallace learns that Margery has visited Stanhope during the time of his incarceration and, overcome with jealous spite, he arranges to go away with the eager Patricia, who calmly packs and informs her husband that she is leaving him. Graham has a change of heart when he learns that Stanhope is, in reality, Margery's father, and that she visited him only to arrange for bail money. Margery and Graham are happily reunited; Patricia returns to her husband, but he orders her from the house. Written by AFI See less
