Because he has neglected his wife, Margaret, and his daughter, rumors link Robert's name with Lola, and he soon obtains a divorce from Margaret and marries her, while Margaret consents to marry Webster, one of her former admirers. The child, Doris, who spends a half year with each parent, is resented by Webster, and Lola clearly prefers her Pekinese. When Lola beats the child and she is stricken with a serious illness, Harvey takes her to her mother; and realizing their mistakes, the couple are reunited. Written by AFI See less
