SYNOPSIS, Reel Life, November 7, 1914:

"John Laine, a young fisherman, lives happily with his wife, Mayre, and their child, until the return of George Stone to his native village. Stone formerly has been a sweetheart of Mayre's, and gradually Laine grows to resent his wife's friendliness with her old suitor. One night, coming home late, the fisherman sees Mayre open the door to admit Stone. In a fury of jealousy, he stealthily follows them into the room where they have gone, flings open the door - and sees them at the bedside of his child, for whom a doctor and a railroad nurse are in attendance. Then he learns that it is through Stone's efforts that little Marion has been saved from a terrible accident; and also that the confidential talks between his wife and Stone were really for the purpose of reconciling Stone with a friend of Mayre's, Jean Scott, whom he hopes to marry."

REVIEW, The Morning Telegraph, November 8, 1914:

"A husband learns that the man he distrusts has saved his child's life and that the conversations he held with his wife were about the girl he hoped to persuade to marry him."
