At last her husband suggests that she go to visit Pauline, an old chum of hers. Ruth entrusts their child to Alice, a neighbor. Pauline is an actress. Ruth seems to fit perfectly into her friend's environment. Charles Clarke, a rich young good-for-nothing, falls in love with Ruth. Meanwhile Alice is making a success as substitute mother to Baby Aline. Landon's business taking him to the city where Pauline lives, he sends Ruth word to be ready to go back with him. Ruth is angry. Landon reaches Pauline's apartment to find a gay party in progress. In the meantime Ruth has warned Clarke not to dare come near the house, and he, thinking she has jilted him, had taken many drinks. Ruth leads her husband aside into a little den. Both admire an antique dagger upon the wall. Five minutes later Landon is found, the dagger, blood-stained, in his hand, and Ruth lying lifeless over the divan. The husband is arrested. Pauline, who had mysteriously fainted a few minutes previous to the discovery of the tragedy, appears at court during Landon's trial. She proclaims Landon innocent. On taking up her small mirror she had seen in the reflection of a large mirror behind her, repeated in her vanity-case, the entire tragedy. Landon and Ruth stood talking in the den. Ruth made an impetuous reply, and her husband went outside on the balcony. At that instant the intoxicated Clarke entered, seized the antique dagger, stabbed Ruth, and escaped. Pauline's testimony saves Landon. He goes home to his child, and to Alice. Little Aline's substitute mother consoles the heart-broken man. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
