She is led into a dangerous friendship by an unscrupulous artist. She discovers that matters have gone too far and tells the artist she will see him no more. In a last effort to compromise her, he calls her on the telephone and tells her to come to his office or he will end his life. She falls into his trap and goes to the studios. Crossed wires, however, permit Amos Howell, a friend of the state's attorney and his wife, to bear the conversation. He realizes the trap set for the woman and hurries to the artist's studio to save her. Just as he arrives he hears a shot. Rushing into an outer room he finds Agnes trembling in fear. In an inner room he discovers the body of the artist. Mrs. Howard flees but the police arrive and arrest Howell. Knowing that if he told all, Mrs. Howell's reputation would be besmirched, he refuses to make a statement. Howell's sister had been wronged by a man unknown to him, but dying she had confessed. A picture of the man was found in Howell's pocket. This motive for the killing and his presence at the scene of the shooting made conviction sure. Mrs. Howard was about to confess her part in the tragedy when the court was stirred by another woman, Annetta, who demanded to be heard. She confessed the killing, telling how the artist had wronged her. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
