Amos Bixby, a society man, takes her to a fashionable café for lunch, where they are seen by his sister, Dora, and Etta Mason, who is in love with Amos. Jimmy is in love with Mary, but she decides to marry Amos. After the ceremony she goes to live at his home, where life is made miserable for her by Mrs. Bixby, who feels that her son has married beneath his station. Amos, too, becomes disagreeable after the ceremony. Things go on in this fashion until Mary decides to return to her father. An open refusal to do his mother's bidding so angers Amos that he strikes Mary. Some time passes. Mary is happy with her father, but one day there comes a note from Amos telling her he is ill and asking her to come to him. Her father insists that as long as Amos is her husband, her place is with him, so she returns. But Etta Mason is endeavoring to ingratiate herself into Amos' good graces, and being egotistical, does not realize what is happening. Etta endeavors to make friends with Mary, but the latter, realizing her hypocrisy, will have nothing to do with her. Jimmy has been plugging along at his newspaper work, and one day is given an assignment for a society story. He calls upon Mary and is received in her apartment. Etta, seeing them, stealthily locks the door, and informs Amos that a man is calling upon his wife. In a rage, Amos goes to his wife's apartments. After Jimmie leaves, Mary and Amos are having a struggle, and she finally gets hold of a gun, but Amos takes a vase and is about to throw it at her when she screams, and Jimmy with the whole household comes to the rescue just as Amos sinks to the floor shot by the pistol in Mary's hand. Later Amos dies, so the lovers are free to marry. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
