Hurt and angry, he announces they shall be husband and wife in name only, then both bitterly reflect on the rash act which had united them for better or worse. Her love of bridge whist had plunged her into debt and Granger had helped her out. Unable to pay him back, he had suggested they cut cards to decide if he will cancel the debts or she marry him. She had lost, and their wedding was the result. Weeks later Enid has learned to love her husband, but conceals her affection. Granger sees Gerald, an old friend of Enid's, making love to her. He challenges the young man to a pistol duel, and despairing of winning Enid's love, quietly extracts the cartridges from his weapon. Enid sees this and rushes between the men, exclaiming: "It is you I love, John." And all ends happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
