- Inventor Dan Hilyer needs money to go West in order to market his new patent, his wife Madge secretly gets a loan from her former sweetheart, Arthur Crewe. Then, with her husband gone, Madge again receives financial support from Arthur when she is about to have her baby. Shortly after Dan returns, he learns of Arthur's help and suspects his wife of having given far too much in return for the money. Dan is on the verge of demanding a separation when Arthur, having heard that his loan has caused the problem, comes to Dan and vouches for Madge's perfectly upright behavior, which then leads to the couple's reconciliation.—Pamela Short
- Dan Hilyer won his wife, Madge, after a hard fight with a rival, Arthur Crewe. After marriage Dan and Madge had hard luck and slid down the social scale, until they were obliged to live in a two-room tenement. Dan, however, kept fighting, and got a chance to go to San Francisco to market a smelter patent which would make him rich. During his absence, Madge gives birth to a son. Owing to the fact that she is without funds, she is cared for during this period by Crewe, although she does not know it. When Dan returns he finds his wife changed from a cheerful normal woman to a miser, this being the effect on her of the horrible poverty she has undergone before the birth of her child. Although he now has money, she refuses to dress decently, live in a decent home, or part with her hoarded pennies. In trying to understand the cause of this change, Dan stumbles on the fact that Crewe not only supported Madge at the hospital, but that she had paid him back money he had lent her. This leads to suspicion and eventually to a quarrel, and a parting between husband and wife. Their happiness, however, is saved by Crewe coming forward and confessing his part in their affairs.—Moving Picture World synopsis
