- John Raymond, millionaire, is of a dominant nature. Upon his son's marriage to his model, he disowns him completely. The young couple find it is not so easy to get along as they thought, for Earl has no great talent for painting. Earl finally gives under the strain of privation and Claire goes to Mr. Raymond for help, unknown to her husband. There she meets Mrs. Raymond, who gives her money. Raymond, coming in, finds Claire with the money, and sending his wife out, accuses her of stealing it. He has her arrested and railroaded to jail. Earl searches in vain for his wife, finally going to his house in hopes of news. There Mrs. Raymond tells him of Claire's visit. Raymond, entering, takes the boy aside and tells him that she came for money, and getting it, went away. Bewildered, believing his wife left him, Earl continues the search for a while, finally giving it up in despair and returning home. Claire, released, goes home to find her husband gone. She goes to Raymond's house to find him, and demands to see Mrs. Raymond. She enters through the open window of the room and gets a glimpse of a man leaving. Earl and some friends entering the room a few minutes later, find Raymond dead and Claire, horrified, holding a bloody paper-cutter in her hand. She proclaims her innocence, and the shock sends her into a fever, during which she tells of her term in prison. At the trial Claire still maintains that she is innocent, stating she saw a man there. Suddenly she sees in the audience the face of the man she saw in the drawing room. It is Carlson, the secretary. During the excitement Carlson comes to the stand and admits his guilt. He tells then of Raymond ruining his daughter Madelaine, and of the fight in Raymond's house, where he killed him in self-defense.—Moving Picture World synopsis
