The husband tries to take the life of the tempter of his wife, but is overpowered and the gun is taken away from him. The man leaves, taking the revolver with him and telling the wife he will give her until midnight to pay the price. The woman, devotedly loving her husband and desiring to save him from the penitentiary, administers a sleeping potion to him and at the hour of twelve arrives at the man's house to pay the price. She finds him dead and her husband's gun at his side. The man has been shot by a thief who was caught rifling his employer's safe. The woman secures the gun, is about to leave, but is apprehended. She is subsequently adjudged guilty of murder and sentenced to life. Previous to her arrest, the husband, awaking from his stupor, reads in his wife's absence the fact that she has yielded to the man. He leaves for the west, and does not learn of the happenings of the night. A lapse of ten years shows the woman pardoned and seeking employment in a far distant state. She obtains work as nurse and the first case she is called upon to attend is that of the real murderer. He has been mortally shot in a gambling row, and desiring to atone for his past misdeeds, he tells the woman that he is the guilty man. In the adjoining room the runaway husband, suffering from severe burns, is recognized by his wife and finally husband and wife are reconciled. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
