Synopsis

Their wealth holds little joy for John and Mary Cleveland who after three years of marriage are still childless. John suspects that his wife still loves ex-convict Paul Horton, while Mary knows that a woman named Clare had been John's mistress. Bent upon having a child, Mary, unknown to John, adopts a baby whose care she entrusts to an aged woman in a neighboring apartment. While visiting the child one day, she meets Horton who is seeking a loan from his former landlady. Seeing Mary with the baby, he attempts to blackmail her and Mary, having no money, turns her rings over to him. Noticing the absence of his wife's rings, John notifies the police who trace the jewels to Horton. The police seize Horton while he is playing with Mary's daughter and John, believing that the infant is his wife's illicit child, denounces Mary who then hands him an envelope containing proof that the child is his and Clare's. Contrite, John begs his wife's forgiveness and the newly reconstituted family begins a new life.
