"Mary Wright, specialty artist with a troup of barnstormers is made critically ill by the news that her brother has robbed the boxoffice. Dr. Crabtree, a narrow-minded village physician, takes care of her and falls in love with her. His maiden aunt, Prudence, fears that a marriage between the two would prove unwise. They marry anyway but Mary is unhappy except in the love for her baby girl. Dr. Crabtree receives $1,000 to keep in custody for an old miser, but Mary takes this money from the safe to pay for keeping her brother out of jail. Her husband discovers her guilt and divorces her. Finally Mary goes insane. Soon the news of her brother's innocence comes to her and this is followed by a reconciliation with her husband who brings the sick child to her mother."--2 September 1922 Moving Picture World ...
