This love has been denied her by the husband, who is blinded by his wild rush after the almighty dollar. There comes a time when Stanton McVicker, a species of the fortune hunting society man, ensnares the heart of the woman and gains her consent to an elopement. The husband, hearing of this engages Edwin Randall, a handsome society detective, to ferret out the case and prevent the elopement. The wife, however, through her great love for her only child, relents at the last moment and decides to remain loyal to her husband. She confesses all to the detective, who destroys all the written evidence against her, warns the intruder, McVicker, away, and smoothes the path of misunderstanding between husband and wife. After telling the husband that his wife is good and true, Randall severs his connection with the case and, when their little child appears upon the scene, all unfriendliness between the mis-mated couple disappears and happiness once more reigns supreme in the household.
