Synopsis

Lucille Westbrook returns from boarding school to find that her fortune has been lost and that arrangements have been made for her to marry the wealthy Paul Belmont. Angered that he may be rejected, Lucille's sweetheart, Joseph Marshall, argues with her, and she sends him from the house. Exhausted, she falls asleep and dreams that she has married Paul, who neglects her for a rich widow and then unjustly frames her for a divorce. After she loses her case in court, Lucille returns home and points a revolver at her husband. The shot awakens her from the dream with a jolt, and she gladly accepts Joseph's proposal.

Notes

Some reviews give a length of five reels. The copyright holdings indicate that the film was based on a story by Scarborough entitled "What Might Have Been." It is unclear whether this story was written for the film or for another medium. Some contemporary reviews state that the film is based on Scarborough's successful play Her Only Way, but no evidence of the existence of such a play has been discovered. The copyright holdings also credit Franklin as co-scenarist with Murillo.
