When her uncle urges her to marry, she flatly refuses. Telling her, "None of my money will be frittered away on crazy reforms," he puts a clause in his will, stating, if she does not marry, she will be disinherited. Tom Hardy, a dissolute young man, is ordered out of the house by his father, and becomes a common drunkard. Mary calls on Harvey, the family lawyer, learns of the clause, and is told that a marriage of convenience is the only way to get around it. The lawyer explains that, for a thousand dollars, he can arrange it, and the man can disappear after the ceremony. Mary gives her consent to the plan. Harvey mentions the proposition to Tom, who, with the prospect of so much "easy money," readily agrees to all conditions. He is introduced to Mary, who treats him very coldly and superciliously. Immediately after the ceremony, to everyone's consternation, Mr. Drew insists that the young couple stay and live with him. Tom soon begins to like Mary, but she hardly condescends to notice him. Uncle goes away for his health, and Tom, so deeply in love with his wife, overcomes a desire to go back to his old habits, invests his thousand dollars in a neat little house and secures a position with Harvey. Mary begins to admire and finally to love him, but pride prevents her showing it. Uncle brings his wife home and immediately there is trouble. Severe quarrels ensue between the two women, and Drew is obliged to ask Mary and her husband to seek other quarters. She bursts out crying, but Tom tells her of his love and asks her to share his little home. After humbly apologizing for her rude treatment, she confesses she has loved him for a long time. They are soon in each other's arms, and Cupid once more triumphs over Mammon. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
