Janet Gordon marries a man much older than herself to save her father from financial ruin. She loves Tom Mercer. Her life with her husband finally becomes unendurable, and she follows Tom to a distant town where she is granted a divorce, and marries the man she loves. There are years of happiness, and husband number one turns up and tells her that her divorce wasn't legal. This furnishes the ground-work for a drama that builds up remarkably in two reels.
