To Honor and Obey
Lorrie Hollis marries the flamboyant Richard Hallam . Soon Hallam loses his fortune in stock market speculation, he appeals to his wife to beseech her former suitor, wealthy broker Marc Patton for help. Lorrie does so, sacrificing her virtue for her husband's wealth. His money regained, Hallam forgets the great sacrifice that his wife has made and neglects her for the companionship of Rose Delvane, finally driving Lorrie from the house with his abuse. Seething from Hallam's unjust treatment of Lorrie, Patton crushes his rival in a stock battle. His fortune again lost, Hallam is deserted by Rose. Bereft of money, respect and love, he kills himself, thus freeing Lorrie to begin a new life with Patton.
