Synopsis

Tired of poverty, Jane finally accepts the advances of Ambrose, the wealthy owner of the factory in which she works, and becomes his mistress. Years later, long after she has left Ambrose, Jane falls in love with Richard Newton, whose own past, like hers, hardly stands out as scrupulous. They get married and have a child, but then Richard finds out that Jane had been a kept woman, and insists on a separation. He soon begins to think about his own past indiscretions, however, and realizes the hypocrisy of judging Jane by a higher standard than the one by which he has lived. As a result, he asks her forgiveness, and she eagerly takes him back.

Notes

Motion Picture News indicates that Joe King co-directed the film, but Moving Picture World and the copyright entry give Cleo Madison sole credit. Sources conflict concerning the story and scenario credits. The Moving Picture World review states that the film was based on a novel by George Bronson Howard, yet no other source confirms this. The review also states that Adele Farrington adapted the story, yet other reviews and the synopsis included in the copyright descriptions credit Farrington with the story and Olga Printzlau with the scenario.
