Although unfavorably impressed with the woman from the start, she makes no effort to persuade him not to fulfill his promise of marriage. Beth is in love with her father's secretary, and her dislike of her stepmother increases when, a few months after the wedding, she discovers that the woman is practicing her arts of fascination upon the youth. In a fit of temper she accuses her rival and during the argument the father enters the room. In a mad attempt to stop the girl's tirade and so prevent her husband from learning the truth, Mrs. Landis seizes a revolver and fires. The bullet strikes Landis instead of his daughter, and he falls apparently lifeless at her feet. Beth swoons, and before she regains consciousness, the woman places the butt of the revolver in her nerveless hand. The shot does not kill the novelist, but deprives him of the power of speech, so he is not able to report the actual truth of the affair, and Beth is sent to prison. The secretary, however, is suspicious. He summons a great specialist and without the knowledge of Mrs. Landis an operation is performed which restores the injured man. Then the truth comes out, the guilty one is punished and Beth is freed to become the wife of the secretary. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
