Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine review,[3] Lisa Coburn is a young wife who has seen the folly of living on all that her husband earns when he is on Wall Street. She determines, unknown to her husband George, to prepare against any coming disaster. The husband's employee is infatuated with the young wife and plans to ruin the husband and obtain her. His plans succeed, but he fails to win the wife. Instead, she goes to the husband, who has left her in anger and haste, and wins him back by convincing him of the truth of her story.
