Katherine is in love with Homer who, however, admires her only as a friend. A new actress, May Taylor, is engaged and Homer and she fall in love. Katherine is jealous and she bitterly opposes her rival. May, who scores a great triumph in a new play. Katherine overhears Homer asking May to marry him, and she determines upon revenge. She secretes a quantity of acid in the cold cream jar of May, expecting in this way to destroy her beauty. May returns to her dressing room and accidentally burns her arm against a hot curling iron and knocks to the floor the jar of cold cream containing the acid. May screams with pain and says she has been badly burned. Katherine hears her scream and, believing that May has been burned by the acid, has a revulsion of feeling and rushes into May's dressing room to help her. Katherine resigns from the company, thankful that her plot to disfigure her rival failed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
