Synopsis by Janiss Garza
Corrupt and lecherous stock broker George Howard (Stuart Holmes) is lusting after Helen Sterling (Bertha Kalich). Helen's husband, Robert (Kenneth Hunter), becomes suspicious of her because of Howard's doings, and he winds up divorcing her. A former lover of Robert's, Rita Lawson (Madeleine Le Nard), is a business associate of Howard's, and they kidnap the Sterling's child to make Helen succumb to Howard's whims. She does go to Howard but when she gets a hold of a gun, they struggle and he is accidentally killed -- whereupon Robert realizes Helen has been true all along, and instead of receiving a jail sentence, she is reunited with her husband.
