Synopsis
Although neither knows of the other's involvement, both Charles Macklin and his widowed father Arthur are having affairs with an exotic dancer called "the Sphinx." When both men come to see her at the same time, however, Charles, stunned to learn that his rival is also his father, denounces the Sphinx, and Arthur knocks him out. Following the confrontation, Arthur and the Sphinx decide to get married, while Charles, finally overcoming the delirium brought on by learning about his father's affair, is reconciled with Frances Evans, to whom he had been engaged before his infatuation with the dancer.
