Synopsis

Jack Holmes and his former schoolmate, Alfred Bedford, visit a dance hall where Bedford's sweetheart La Belle Rose works. A strong attraction develops between Jack and Rose, and before long Jack is neglecting his devoted wife Mary to spend time with the seductive entertainer. Despondent over her husband's waning affections, Mary takes her mother to the theater where she spies Jack with Rose. Pretending to be a newspaper reporter, Mary gains entrance into Rose's apartment, answers her telephone and hears Jack's voice on the other end, thus confirming all her suspicions. Devastated by the truth of Jack's marital status, Rose decides to kill herself and tries to goad Jack into a suicide pact. At this moment Bedford, who has been hiding in the room, reveals himself, pistol in hand, and confronts Jack. Rose is shot in the ensuing tussle, but both men escape arrest. Begging for forgiveness, Jack returns home, but is sent away by Mary to ponder his sins alone.
