- An escaped lunatic threatens the romance of his wife and her new suitor.
- After dining at his club, Jack Courtney, a young man of independent means, is about to leave for the opera with some friends, when he receives a message from a business associate, asking him to wait at the club for him. In a big easy chair, Courtney falls fast asleep and dreams that he goes to the opera and while seated in a box, becomes infatuated with a beautiful girl. He cannot keep his eyes from her. She does not see him until the end of the second act, then she happens to encounter his direct gaze. After a moment of suspense, to his delight, she bestows a dazzling smile upon him. At the end of the performance, Jack sees the girl in the lobby looking about in evident helpless confusion, and upon inquiry, learns she has lost her escort in the crowd. He at once offers her his arm, and takes her home. There he is about to bid her good-night, but she invites him in. No sooner is he in the house when his passion overpowers him, and he seizes the girl in his arms, telling her of his love. To his surprise she yields to his embrace, and shyly admits her love for him. Placing her arms about his neck, she begs him never to leave her. He promises, but begins to feel a little queer about the suddenness and warmth of the girl's affection. She excuses herself for a few moments, and while awaiting her return, he is unable to shake off a strange, uncanny fear. Suddenly he hears an unearthly shriek, springs to the door and there, in a blaze of light, stands the girl. Her hair down, a wild look in her eyes, she seems transformed into a wild beast. Then, without warning, she rushes at Jack and grabs him by the throat in a maniacal clutch. He struggles, but cannot break her hold, and just as he feels himself being slowly strangled to death, he awakes to find himself back in the club, just where he had fallen asleep.—Moving Picture World synopsis
