Synopsis
Jane Cornwall, a young heiress, is in love with James Van Clinton and sacrifices her fortune to enable him to perfect an invention he calls "Tele-vision-scope." Jim's invention is successful and he and Jane are married. After 5 years of domestic life, Jim begins to neglect both his business and his wife, directing his attentions toward Helen Newhall, Jane's best friend. Jane learns of Jim's infidelity but does not confront him with her knowledge of it. Jim finds himself in serious financial trouble and again needs Jane's assistance. Jane walks out on him, and he is forced to assume a subordinate position in his own business. Jim then settles down to hard work and is promoted to the head of the firm. He and Jane are later reconciled.
