Frank Nolan, Paula's brother, returns home after a lengthy absence and is seen by Winton embracing Paula. Paula teases Winton about Frank, concealing the latter's identity. Winton leaves the house. He reads a newspaper account of a recent hanging and dozing off to sleep, he, in a realistic dream, passes through a series of thrilling adventures, among which is the murder of his sweetheart by him, his arrest, and condemnation to death. He mounts the scaffold and is about to be executed when word is received that the hanging law of the state has been abolished. He bids farewell to his old mother and is led away to what is apparently a life sentence. He sits on the stone bench in his cell, the warden enters and roughly shakes him by the arm. He wakes to find his mother bending over him. The effect of the dream is still on him when Paula and her brother arrive. Paula explains her relationship with Frank. Winton takes her in his arms and declares he is now cured of his jealousy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
