His friends disapprove of what they regard as a mesalliance, and Elliott and his wife take up like in the west. Here they live for three years, being blessed with a child, a boy. Elliott grows restive. Little gaucheries of which his untutored wife is guilty annoy him. He goes on a visit to New York and there becomes infatuated with Rosa, an adventuress. Abandoning his wife, he elopes with Rosa, and in Europe, travels the pace that kills. The woman tiring of him and learning that his funds are running low, resumes an old time lover. Elliott discovers her treachery and kills Rosa and her paramour, fleeing the scene of his crime. In disguise, he returns to his old home. He finds his wife crushed and dying and as he folds her dead body in his arms the arm of the law descends upon him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
