- A doctor commits perjury in order to win a woman whose husband could go to prison based on his testimony.
- John Lund and George Dean are business partners. John is married to Flo and has two children. Dean is fond of his friend's children, and visits the house to see them. John misinterprets his attentions; his jealousy is aroused. But there is a Dr. Carter, both Lund's and Dean's physician, who loves Flo, and tries to force his attentions upon her. She repulses him. Of an afternoon Dean calls at his partner's home and this time brings flowers to Flo. Lund openly accuses Dean, and tells him to refrain from bringing flowers to his wife. Dean returns home, the excitement having brought on an old ailment, heart disease. Dr. Carter is called by Dean. After the doctor's departure, Lund calls to demand explanation. Dean excuses his valet before he receives him. There is a quarrel between the two men; there is a struggle, at the end of which Dean drops back dead from heart failure. Lund departs hurriedly, thinks he is guilty. Dr. Carter returns and finding Lund's cane in the room, plans to compromise him. Lund confesses to his wife that he has killed his friend. Dr. Carter writes to the wife telling her that if she will call at his office he will show her a way out of difficulty. Flo goes, but Carter, instead of helping Flo, first informs the police that Lund left evidence of his guilt, and where he can be found. When Flo calls he tries to make love to her. She repulses him, and there is a struggle in which one of the electric lights is broken. Carter, investigating, touches the switch, and is electrocuted, owing to a short-circuited wire. In the meantime Lund is arrested. However, the coroner's report is that Dean died of heart trouble and not strangulation, as supposed. Lund reaches home a moment after Flo has dashed home after Carter's tragic death. Retiring to the sitting-room, they open the window and as the moon pours in its mellow light, they catch its glow and renew promises of love and devotion.—Moving Picture World synopsis
