Synopsis
Jack and Mary, two vaudeville magicians engaged to marry, quarrel and separate. Mary becomes the temporary partner of a dancing artist, but she soon leaves him because of his improper advances. Stranded in a small western town near where Jack is playing, Mary goes to the theater and discovers that he is faring badly in her absence. Secretly she replaces Jack's assistant; he welcomes Mary with enthusiasm, and they happily reunite.
