She resents an insult by a fashionable young woman and is discharged. She attracts the attention of the young woman's escort, James Everett, however, and he hunts her up. They become infatuated and are married. Everett's mother is in ill health and the family physician tells the son he must not make known his marriage to her. The mother is forced to go abroad for her health and her son accompanies her, leaving his wife behind. William Maxwell, posing as Everett's friend, forces his attentions on Alice. He convinces her that Everett no longer cares for her. Maxwell's fiancée, Annette Revere, follows him to the girl's house, where she flies into a jealous rage and shoots him. She flees and Alice is arrested for the murder. Everett, hearing of his wife's arrest, rushes home and arrives just when she is convicted. Alice collapses. Annette, overcome with remorse, confesses. But when friends rush to Alice's bedside to tell her she is free, they find her dead from the shock. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
