Margaret starts to entertain on a lavish scale; to pay the bills, David speculates, but when he loses everything, his wife elopes with dashing Army officer Captain Clifford. Beatrice returns from abroad, meets David, learns all, and urges him to go West and start all over again. He does so and locates at Ranchville, where he buys a small ranch. Meanwhile, Clifford has tired of Margaret and deserted her. He later meets Beatrice, they marry, and he takes her out West with him. Beatrice meets David at his ranch and tells him she is married. David meets Clifford, but keeps silent about Clifford's former life. Beatrice plans to reunite Margaret with her husband and invites her to Ranchville. When she arrives, Beatrice begs David to give her another chance, pleading so hard that he finally takes Margaret back. Foreseeing trouble should Margaret and Clifford meet, he urges her to leave that section until the Cliffords have gone. Unfortunately she does meet Clifford, he threatens her, they struggle and she is accidentally killed. David finds the body and a clue to the guilty one. He accuses Clifford, who breaks down and confesses the whole truth, which Beatrice overhears. She tells Clifford that it is all over between them and he kills himself. After the funeral, David and Beatrice go back East together, determined to forget the past and start life anew as husband and wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
