On a driving trip, they stop at a lodge in the hills, and Peggy learns that Douglas is unhappily married. Peggy immediately leaves the lodge but is caught in a storm, from which she is rescued by an old suitor. Douglas' wife is found murdered, and when he will not establish an alibi for fear of ruining Peggy's reputation, he is arrested and tried for the crime. Peggy learns of the trial at the last minute and hurries to the courtroom, arriving just as the judge is about to open the envelope with the jury's guilty verdict. At the same time, a confession by the murderer is produced. The case against Douglas is dismissed. Douglas then asks Peggy to marry him, but Peggy has become engaged to her old suitor and therefore refuses. The suitor, however, realizes that Peggy loves Douglas and releases her from the engagement; Peggy turns to Douglas and they embrace. Written by AFI See less
