Synopsis

James Aldrich seems certain to win election as United States Senator until Tom Ryan, his opponent, offers a big reward to anyone who can find a skeleton in Aldrich's closet. Newspaper editor Howard Duncan and his star reporter Ruby Sheldon accept the challenge and, after deciding that Aldrich is straight, decide to investigate his wife Agnes. Going back through the files, they discover that Agnes has been accused of murder and threaten the Aldrichs with exposure. Agnes holds them all spellbound with the tragic story of her escape from drunken brute Steve O'Brien, whose life she had to take in order to save her own. The reporters are so moved that they decide to bury Agnes' past and the sad story only increases the love of Aldrich for his wife.

Notes

Corsan's story was first called The Woman with the Forget-Me-Nots. Wid's credits L. V. Jefferson with the scenario, and although Jefferson did write scenarios for the Morosco Co., no confirming evidence has been located concerning his involvement with this film.
