Synopsis
Ruth Ancaster breaks her engagement to Edward, a broker, when she learns of his other affairs, and marries Edward's friend Henry, who lives a clean life. Deep in financial difficulties, Henry forges Edward's name to a stock certificate so he will not go into debt and is caught. Edward, in revenge for being jilted, sues. When Ruth pleads for Henry, Edward offers to withdraw his charges if she will "pay the price." The suit is dropped and Henry is released from prison. A few years later, Edward dies from tuberculosis that his weakened system, resulting from his dissipated life, could not combat. Traces of consumption in their son Walter, plus other evidence lead Henry to suspect that the child's father was Edward, and Ruth admits that he is right. Henry drives her and the boy away and lives alone with his legitimate daughter Emily until Emily runs away to find Ruth. After locating Emily, Henry forgives Ruth.
