Synopsis
Dr. Robert Harvey, under the stress of financial difficulties, yields to the charms of Lola Forbes, who becomes enamored of him when he calls to attend her. Because he has neglected his wife, Margaret, and his daughter, rumors link Robert's name with Lola, and he soon obtains a divorce from Margaret and marries her, while Margaret consents to marry Webster, one of her former admirers. The child, Doris, who spends a half year with each parent, is resented by Webster, and Lola clearly prefers her Pekinese. When Lola beats the child and she is stricken with a serious illness, Harvey takes her to her mother; and realizing their mistakes, the couple are reunited.
