After he graduates from college, Gordon marries Virginia and has a son with her. Four years later, Virginia is so eager to return to work that accepts her mother-in-law's offer to live with them and care for Sonny. However, Virginia soon becomes jealous of Mrs. Graham for stealing her child's affections, and gives her husband an ultimatum that either she or his mother must go. In the end, Virginia leaves with Sonny and then marries Stoneman, her employer, but when he is imprisoned on embezzlement charges, she is left destitute. Years later, Sonny and his wife Marjorie take Virginia into their home, but in a repeat of family history, Marjorie soon becomes jealous of Virginia. When the couple move to Paris, Virginia decides to pass out of their lives. While attending an architectural convention in Paris, Gordon and Marjorie (now his wife) are recognized by the haggard woman, but she dies in the street before she can reach them.
