Synopsis

Status-conscious Arnold St. Clair marries wealthy Adeline Stratton even though Myra, his former lover, is pregnant. To hide the fact that Arnold is the child's father, Myra quickly marries Hugh Roland. Meanwhile, Adeline's uncle, Mark Stratton, finds out about Arnold's shady past. In order to keep Mark silent, Arnold murders him. Hugh nonetheless learns of Arnold's affair with Myra, and so decides to kill him but finds that Arnold died of fright after discovering that the police were after him. Still in a rage, Hugh returns home and starts choking the daughter he had believed to be his own. Finally he relents, though, and, realizing how much he loves them, apologizes to Myra and to the little girl.
