She finds a dazed man on a park bench who looks like her husband, and recalling a dinner conversation in which some judges and her friend, District Attorney John Kent, argued that everyone has a double, lets her husband escape for their son's sake, and has the man, who suffers from amnesia, take his place. The impostor is declared insane and sent to a sanitarium. Upon his release, he lives with Gail as her husband, still without remembering his previous life. Reporter Frank Fisher sees Orcutt in a saloon, and investigates. When Orcutt, jealous of the impostor, breaks into his home to demand money from Gail, the butler, thinking that he is a thief, shoots and kills him.
