She goes to the west, where, heavily veiled, she becomes the wife of Fred, the son of her father's old friend. During the ceremony Edythe notices that Fred is under the influence of liquor. While his cowboy friends are congratulating him she slips away, happy in the thought that her father's hope has been realized, but herself feeling that she never wants to see her husband again. She notices an antique wedding ring, which was Fred's mother's lying on the dresser. Joe, the director of the Standard Motion Picture Company, seeks to make Edythe his leading lady. She refuses. During the filming of a scene the heavy man is suddenly taken ill. Nearby the director observes Fred, a ragged tramp. He persuades him to take the part. The scene is between a brutal husband, Fred, and the mistreated wife, Edythe. Fred's portrayal is excellent, and the director offers him a steady engagement. Edythe recognizes in the tramp her husband. Something about Edythe puzzles Fred. A month passes. Fred has arisen to a better place in the company. Seated by Edythe one day, he has it on his lips to propose, but does not, knowing that he is a married man. A unique ring on her finger attracts his attention. He recognizes his own wedding ring. Edith feels that after all, her father's last wish "was not an unwise one." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
