Through his wife and friend he is lifted into fabulous fortune, but he, when he is drunk with the power of money, forgets this. As the years pass his money buys a senatorship for him. He goes to Washington without his wife, and in the bewildering smiles of a brilliant widow becomes dazzled with ambition and resolves to divorce the partner of his youth. He is influenced by the widow to put through a nefarious bill. She and her pal receive money for this. His constituents slight him for this work, and, after he has made the woman of the world his wife, they are both snubbed by the society he has coveted. But this is not the end of the ruin. The woman sells him out on the exchange and deserts him with the man who has helped her to ruin him. Mary, his divorced wife, and Tom, the old friend, hasten to him in his hour of need but they arrive too late. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
