Synopsis
To save his family from financial ruin, Henry Patterson commits bigamy and marries Louise Douglas, a Denver heiress. Henry keeps his second marriage a secret from Lola, his first wife, who lives with their son in Chicago, but after years of separation, Lola develops a strong attachment to Fred Warren, an artist. Henry returns finally to Lola, confesses his sins and offers her some of Louise's money. Before they can leave together, however, Fred draws a gun on Henry and accidentally kills him. Lola escapes to New York with Louise's money while Fred nobly assumes the guilt for the crime. When Louise hears of Henry's death, she goes to Chicago to avenge him, but upon learning of his bigamy, falls in love with and marries Fred instead. Years later, Lola's son falls in love with Muriel Warren, his half sister, and plans to marry her. The now impoverished Lola finds out about the upcoming wedding and rushes to the church in time to stop the illicit union. Muriel becomes a nun and Lola finds a comfortable home with her son.

Notes
Although reviews state that Ivan Abramson directed this film, the January 29, 1916 MPSD lists Edwin McKim as director. Chadwick Pictures Corp. bought the rights to the film, which was retitled A Wife's Story, and re-issued it in July 1920. According to one publicity article, Martin Cohn and J. F. Natteford of the Chadwick Pictures Corp. revised and reedited the film before its re-release.
