She discovers, then, that he already has a wife; that he it was who destroyed her home life by his slanderous lies; she starts out deliberately to revenge herself on him. This she does by inducing his son to fall in love with her. The father is then brought face to face with the dilemma of seeing his son marry a woman with whom he had been intimate, or having his own disgrace brought put into the light. The three finally meet in Helene's apartments, and the son is accidentally shot and killed by a revolver with which the father was attempting to end his own life. The father is charged with the murder of his son, and Helene is the chief witness against him. John Blair, Tremaine's counsel, learns from his wife's testimony of the perfidy of Tremaine. After the latter is sentenced to death, Helene, in a fit of remorse, tells Blair, with whom she is now reunited, that the killing was accidental. Tremaine is freed, and Helene goes back to her rightful place as Blair's wife. Written by Moving Picture News - April 22, 1916 See less
