At length Marie gives Roy back the engagement ring which he had given her. Marie's parents set out for the opera. Marie feigns a headache and stays home. She dismisses her maid early, for she is expecting a caller. Roy Norman comes but he is not the man she expected. Roy leaves as Boyd bounds up the steps. Surreptitiously he peeks in a window. He sees Marie accepting the embraces of the favored caller. As Norman leaves he encounters Marie's parents, who have returned since the prima donna was too ill to make a stage appearance. The Thompsons find their daughter feigning illness on a couch. A quick movement and Marie's father discovers Allan hidden behind the portieres. Allen is ordered from the home. Months later Allan is visited by Dr. Boyd, his brother, who tells Allan that Marie has been a patient in an eastern hospital and that a baby has been born. He gives to Allan a copy of a statement the girl has made in which the father of the baby was named. A year later Allan marries. He and his happy bride have just returned from their honeymoon. He has forgotten Marie. She, however, has not forgotten him, and she calls upon his wife, whom she tells that Allan once loved and then jilted her. The young bride swoons. Allan returns, finds Marie's card, and at once all is clear to him. That evening Allan decides to act. He summons Roy and together they visit Marie. There Allan reveals the copy of Marie's statement which his doctor brother had given him. Marie, thus confronted, admits Allan's innocence. It is Roy, not Allan, who is the father of her child. Marie writes to Allan's bride admitting the falsity of her charges. She adds, too, that she and her infant's father are to be wedded next day. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
