Synopsis
After losing consciousness in an auto accident, Chester Castle awakens to find himself tended by a beautiful heiress named Joy Fielding. Convalescing in her home, Chester falls in love with the shy young woman, but one day she startles him by calling herself Edna and staging a violent temper tantrum. Leah, the maid, informs Chester that Joy is under the hypnotic power of an unscrupulous physician named Dr. Copin, who hopes to acquire the Fielding fortune by marrying his patient. In order to release Joy from Dr. Copin's influence, Chester marries her while she is exhibiting her normal personality, but the physician "concentrates" on her, and she once again becomes Edna. When Dr. Copin enters, Chester struggles with him, and in the confusion, the doctor is shot with his own revolver. The spell broken, Joy happily settles down with her new husband.
