His wife is waiting for him while he is detained in his stock and bond office by an adventuress, Mrs. Fenner. When John Harlow comes home, he shows evidence of having had a pleasant interview. The suspicions of Mrs. Harlow and the twenty-year-old son Gene, are not aroused until Mrs. Fenner can's him up on the telephone. When he comes back to the table, his wife asks him who called up, but he waves aside her question. In the days that follow, Mrs. Harlow becomes partly deranged through Harlow's absence from home, caused by the visits to this woman, Mrs. Fenner. One night Gene determines to follow his lather and sees him take Mrs. Fenner to a cabaret. The son is on the verge of rushing to his father, but controls himself. Instead, he goes home and refuses to tell his mother anything, too feeling that she might spoil a plan that is laid to save his father. The next day he goes to the home of the woman and asks her to give his father back to his home. The woman does not take him seriously, but instead, tries to exercise her wiles on him. The boy responds to her, it seeming his only way out. He sees the woman a few times, which keeps the father away while the mother thinks her son has gone from her. However, Gene waits until one evening, when he hears his father making an engagement with Mrs. Fenner, and determines to get at Mrs. Fenner before he arrives. This he does, and manages to stay until the father comes. The father comes in, is at first held aghast, and then turns on the woman and accuses her of inveigling his own son by her wiles. She turns on him and with a the animalism in her nature she tries to kill him. The son separated the two and the repentant father, who suddenly realizes things concerning the single standard of morality, goes home to the wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
