Robert Hilton, a friend of Choate's, covets Mary. The artist comes upon Hilton making passionate love to the girl, and a struggle ensues in which Hilton is worsted. He goes away vowing vengeance. Shortly after this, Choate and Mary are married. Meanwhile, Dan Forbes has been released from prison. He meets Hilton in a saloon, and the latter, by telling him that his daughter is being led astray by an artist, persuades Mary's father to enter Choate's rooms and disfigure the canvas on which he has painted his young wife. In the studio Forbes is discovered by Choate, who 'phones for the police. Meanwhile Forbes has found Mary there and has learned from her she is married to the artist. He turns to go quietly away. But by this time the police are on the scene and in trying to escape, Forbes is fatally shot. Mary's husband never knows that the dead crook was his wife's father.
