Although Enid resists her attraction to Keith, Whiting hears rumors of the relationship and starts a violent quarrel with her that results in him shooting her and killing himself. Keith receives a telegram informing him that his wife is dead and hurries to Enid's side. Enid recovers and marries Keith.

Notes

British producer Samuelson made this film in America in the first half of 1920 and released it in Britain in mid-1920, but no evidence that it was released in America has been located. Modern sources state that Alexander Butler directed the film, that Campbell Gullan's character is called the Hon. Dicky Byrd, that Maudie Dunham's character is called Nancy Johnson, that Frances Griffiths played Marion Davenport, and that Lynore Linard played Mrs. Meredith. One modern source states that the film was shot in Universal City.
