- Gordon Allen, a rising young novelist, is obliged to devote all his time to his work to maintain his wife, Dorothy, in the social position she demands. While visiting Evelyn Langdon, her friend in a country town, Dorothy meets Jed Brooks, a big handsome farmer lad, and pretends to be unmarried. Jed's indifference to her charms piques Dorothy and she sets about to accomplish his awakening. Mary, Jed's sister, idolizes her big brother and intuitively the allurements of the hoarder. Dorothy accomplishes Jed's awakening and for the first time in his life he kisses a woman. One day during Jed's absence, Dorothy's husband arrives unexpectedly and finding her in the hammock, kisses her, just as Jed returns. There is a fight and then comes the unmasking. Jed's heart is broken. Gordon refuses to forgive his wife, and Mary, realizing the hurt Jed has received, swears to get even with Dorothy. Jed, unable to bear the tortures of his blasted hopes, shoots himself, and Mary dedicates her life to vengeance. Ten years later, she is a changed woman and succeeds in getting introduced into Gordon's home as his secretary. She deliberately makes love to Gordon and Dorothy finds her husband and his secretary in each other's arms. Then Mary realizes that she loves Gordon, and realizes that the two-edged sword of revenge has turned in her hand and cut deep. She goes away to the little country home in bitterness. Some time later, while attending the motor races held in that section annually, Dorothy is dangerously injured and Evelyn slightly hurt by a swerving racing car. They are carried to Mary's home, and shortly after, Dorothy overhears Gordon again confess his love to Mary, and also learns for the first time that Jed died by his own hand because of her (Dorothy's) heartlessness. She is in a critical condition at the time and the shock hastens her death. Before passing away she begs her husband's forgiveness and joins his hand in that of Mary's.—Moving Picture World synopsis
