Business has been none too brisk and it is necessary to resort to most any measure to get sufficient money to carry the project along. Jim decides that Florence must try her wiles on the wealthy young lawyer, Horace Bradley by name, a successful practitioner in the town that they are working. She fixes herself up as fascinatingly as possible and succeeds in interesting Bradley to the extent that he agrees to go with her the following day to the carnival and look over the grounds, as Flirty Florence has informed him that she has money to invest, and the carnival business appeals to her. The next day Miss Frost, an eccentric old maid, finding it impossible to use three opera tickets herself, brings them to the Bradley home just as Mr. Bradley is leaving for the office to keep his engagement with Florence. The mother-in-law can see no reason why he can't accompany them to the opera; his excuse that he has an engagement at two and that he can't break it isn't satisfying to her. Mrs. Bradley, the loving little wife, is satisfied that her husband is honest in the extreme and she kisses him good-bye, believing implicitly in him. We next see Flirty Florence and Bradley coming from his office building, get into an automobile and ride away. The automobile that carries Miss Frost comes into view; she sees Bradley with a strange woman and is greatly shocked and decides to follow them. We next see the automobile containing Florence and Bradley draw up to the curb; they alight and go into the carnival ground. The auto with Miss Frost comes up; she sees them and decides it is her duty to tell the wife and goes off with that intention in mind. She arrives at the Bradley house just as the wife and mother are starting for the opera. She induces them to get into her automobile, telling them what she has seen. They start away towards the carnival grounds, the mother and the old maid trying to fire the gentle little wife with a feeling for revenge. They arrive at the carnival grounds and a search for Bradley and Flirty Florence is started. In the meantime Florence has missed no opportunity to impress Bradley with her charms, while Jim Baker, the husband, has kept very close in the background, waiting for his opportunity. The merry-go-round stops. Florence and Bradley get off. Mrs. Bradley, the little wife, comes and sees what she apparently thinks is unfaithfulness on the part of the husband. The demon of jealousy takes full possession of her and she demands an explanation from him. Florence, seeing the game is up, starts to get away. The wife grabs her and when the dust clears, the little wife demonstrates her ability as a scrapper, for Florence has received a very good beating. Officers come upon the scene and a general mix-up ensues. The wife, realizing now that her husband is in danger of arrest, very cleverly arranges for his escape. She rushes him to the auto and hurries him away. Florence apparently gets her just dues for she is hurried to the police station. The next morning Mr. Bradley hobbles out onto the lawn looking as though he had passed through a Texas cyclone, the mother-in-law storming in the background. Mrs. Bradley comes out of the house with the desire to go to her husband, but the mother prevents it. In the meantime the husband has picked up the morning paper in which he reads of the arrest of Florence, the most notorious blackmailer known to modem times. He is sufficiently quick-witted to grasp the opportunity. The wife and mother-in-law rush to him; he shows them the article, tells them that he knew her all the time and was arranging to have her arrested and prosecuted. The mother-in-law is a bit skeptical, but the little wife swallows the story. The ending scene shows Florence locked behind prison bars. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
