Synopsis

After the death of his first wife, Walter Fairchild, engaged to Florence Wendell, is convinced that he must establish a new home in order that their married life be a success. Following their marriage, Walter's 7-year-old son, Junior, is sent to school in Switzerland. When Florence is expecting her child, Walter receives word that his son is dying and makes preparations to leave; hurt by his lack of consideration for her, Florence tells him he cannot return to her; nevertheless, he goes to the boy, who recovers and returns with his father to be placed in another school. Gaylord, still in love with Florence, finds her receptive to his attentions, and Walter's threats fail to discourage him. Florence is encouraged to leave her husband, but when asked to give up her baby, she relents and is reconciled with Walter and his son.
