Transcription
Plot
As described in a film magazine,[2] Helen O'Hara (Clayton), actress and manager, is in love with Richard Carlin (Coxen). Richard is a man of the world, more fond of roaming in foreign countries and exploring other lands rather than enjoying the comforts of city or country life. Helen decides to change his habits and make of him a useful citizen. With this purpose, she stages a little drama in which Richard makes ardent love to her and is caught by her husband who is then shot and killed in the encounter that follows. Up to this point all has gone as planned, but the police step in and take Richard into custody. Helen is forced to produce her "dead" brother who played the role of her husband, and explains to the police that it was only a trick. Richard admires the woman's cleverness, admits his love, and decides to forgo any further world travels.
