- Robert Van Pelt's attitude towards his wife changes from that of indifference to mistrust on his seeing, one night after she has spent the evening with a friend, her friend's brother who has escorted her home, try to kiss her at the door. He does not wait long enough, however to see his wife send the man away and when she enters the house, he tells her that it is time for a divorce. Thinking that he is much abused, he goes with a friend to a cabaret and is much taken with a singer, whom he invites to call at his office. The woman calls next day, just after Mrs. Van Pelt has arrived to plead with her husband not to close down one of his factories, a proceeding which will result in much suffering by the men. The singer hears Van Pelt's curt refusal, and seeing the true worth of his wife, enters the office after Mrs. Van Pelt has left and denounces the husband. Van Pelt goes home to find the superintendent of the factory there, also bent on begging for the lives of his men. The hardhearted rich man is not moved until the maid rushes into the room with a baby she has found on the doorstep. The clinging arms and the helplessness of the child captivates him, and softens him, and he sends the superintendent away with the happy news that the factory is not to be closed, but enlarged, and he takes his wife again to his heart.—Moving Picture World synopsis
