Plot

As described in a film magazine, artist Mary McLeod (Clayton) meets Phillip Dominick (Rawlinson), the son of a wealthy woman, on a Pullman car on a train bound for the city. When she informs the conductor that she has left her purse behind, Phillip magnanimously gives up his stateroom for her. The chance acquaintance ripens to love and they get married. The match does not meet the approval of Phillip's mother (McDowell), and when they go to live with her, she makes life almost unbearable for Mary. The wife also becomes disgusted at the idle life led by her husband. Then a baby is born to them. Phillip goes on a camping trip, and while he is absent the child dies. Upon his return Mary decides to leave him. Phillip follows her to her studio and announces that his mother's money has been a curse. He swears that he will be a man from then on, and Mary knows happiness lies ahead for them.
