It did so in the instance of Walter Smith and William Jones by making one the exact duplicate of the other. Neither knew not one whit of the other's existence until an automobile injures one of them so severely that he is landed in a hospital. Smith is the victim of the machine. The hospital officials fail to find anything on the man's person to establish his identity and the morning newspapers run his picture the following day, at the head of an account of the accident, as the unidentified victim of a careless chauffeur. William Jones had left his home the morning of the accident, and his wife seeing the picture of the unknown in a newspaper identifies it as that of her husband. Smith disclaims any acquaintance whatever with the woman. She attributes his failure to recognize her to a lapse of memory due to the bump on his head. Mrs. Jones carts him off to her home. In one of his efforts to communicate with his wife, a letter he bribes the housemaid to deliver is intercepted by Mrs. Jones. On reading this letter she is convinced of the fact that her spouse is a bigamist. She immediately communicates by phone with Mrs. Smith, whom she firmly believes is wife No. 2. The real Jones comes on the scene at the critical moment. Explanations follow. Mrs. Jones is tearfully penitent and the Smiths are happily reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
