Helen Ward, also a member of the theater party, misunderstands her fiancé's frank enthusiasm for Elsa's talent and breaks her engagement to Harrison. After that he visits the actress frequently, and at length becomes involved in the murder of Carlton Fox, who has been Elsa's constant attendant. At the trial she testifies against Harrison, and Earl Rand, who is in love with Helen Ward, permits his former friend to be convicted, although he, himself, knows all the details of his innocence. Harrison escapes from prison and finds work on a western ranch where, eventually, he meets Helen and Rand. Rand is on the point of exposing him to the sheriff when Elsa Detrow, now queered in the theatrical profession, who is working as housekeeper at a hotel nearby, comes forward and confesses the truth.
