She is engaged to Bob Duncan, a young engineer. Her sister, Dolores, is betrayed by Page Ulrich, a wealthy young idler. He deserts her and she hides her shame in the sea. Inez has no clue to the identity of her sister's betrayer except a kodak picture, snapped by Carlos in a spirit of mischief. Later she meets and recognizes him, and finding that she can control him hypnotically, lays her plans to punish him. She breaks her engagement with Bob, but cannot give him the reason. She says, "Long ago when a girl came to the altar as a maiden, she let her hair down. Trust me, dear, no matter what happens. Someday I will return to you that way." He is greatly disappointed, but promises. Inez lures Page on and finally leads him to the altar. Then as he ardently approaches to embrace her, she gains hypnotic control, and to his horrified eyes, she is the dead Dolores. Every time he attempts to approach her she repeats this action. He becomes frantic and tries to kill her, but even while he holds her by the throat, she changes to Dolores, and he flees from the house in terror. Bob reads of Inez's marriage and is greatly upset, but finally decides to await her explanation before condemning her. A few quiet weeks at the club having restored his courage. Page again seeks to prey upon innocence. His intended victim is Betty, a pretty telephone operator. Inez learns of it and determines to save her. She arrives at the ferry just after the boat has left, so hurries to Bushy Point, near which the boat must pass. There, unseen, she secures control and as he turns he is horrified to see Dolores beside him. He starts back and falls overboard and disappears. Inez is shocked, but feels that it is no more than he deserved. Bob goes to see her and as he turns and sees her approaching with her hair falling over her shoulders, he understands and his heart is filled with a great joy.
