- When his mother and sister wish him to marry a society woman, Walter goes West and meets Mary, circus performer. He returns married, to his family's disapproval, who give a costume dance to entice Walter away from his wife.
- To escape the designs of his mother and sister, who wish him to marry Dorothy Marr to further their social ambitions, Walter Gray goes out West, where he meets Mary, a bareback rider in a small circus, and falls in love with her. He marries her and brings her back home to his parents and sister, who treat her coldly. The Greys give a costume dance at which many daring costumes are worn; Dorothy's Salome costume is the most risque'. Mary, unable to stand the family any longer and unhappy at her husband's growing indifference, decides on the night of the dance, to steal out of the house and away. Walter sees her and asks where she is going; she points to the ballroom where Dorothy is dancing a Salome dance. Walter watches her for a moment and is struck by its unwholesomeness, feels revulsion, and says "Wait for me, Mary, I'm going with you!" Thus Mary wins out in her honest claims over his mean-spirited, hypocritical family who tried to set him against her.—Moving Picture World synopsis
