Synopsis
After a woman who says that she is taking the law into her own hands, shoots her lover, she is revealed to be the actress Jane Carleson concluding the play "Honor." Jane chooses to marry young district attorney Murray Campbell over two other suitors, millionaire Henry Strong, who remains her friend, and Hamilton Ross, a criminologist and chemist, who leaves for Moscow to investigate a murder. When Ross discovers that the victim died from the fumes of an East Indian poison, he withholds this evidence and returns. Ross mails to Campbell a letter soaked in the poison that accuses Jane of having an affair with Strong, which Campbell already suspects. When the letter arrives during a party, Strong opens it for Campbell and is stunned by the fumes. Campbell reads it and threatens Strong, who falls, hits his head and dies from a fracture. After Campbell is convicted of murder, Jane investigates and discovers Ross's plot. She lures him to a locked room in which she has incense of the poison burning, but which, unknown to Ross, is harmless. After Ross confesses, Campbell is freed.
