Trayne is preoccupied with business to the detriment of his home life, while his wife has turned to the social whirl for diversion, leaving the children to the care of a governess. The death of the younger child, due to the carelessness of the nurse, leads to divorce, the father taking the boy Fred while Mrs. Trayne keeps Marion. Fred is sent to college and Marion to boarding school while the parents seek their own diversions. Expelled for a saloon brawl, Fred is disowned by his father. Deserted by the man with whom she eloped, Marion is about to commit suicide as an alternative to a life of shame when Fred finds her and together they begin a new life. Meanwhile, Trayne and his wife are reunited through the efforts of friends, but their children are lost to them forever. Written by AFI See less
