He sets up a law office, but makes little success. His father, feeling lonesome, sends for his young son, Donald, to come home from college. However, he is not much comfort to his father as he is inclined to wildness. Marion, Lionel's wife, plans to bring about a reconciliation. Lionel's father learns of Donald's infatuation for an actress and goes to Lionel to have him break it. Donald refuses to listen to Lionel and also refuses to reveal the woman's name. Lionel watches Donald, follows him and sees him at the theater. There Donald is joined by a woman heavily veiled. He phones to his father to join him and they both follow the couple. To Lionel's amazement the first machine goes to his own apartments. He and his father follow close behind. Lionel becomes suspicious. He is (when he finds that it is his wife with Donald) about to rush in and accuse her of unfaithfulness, when he is restrained by his father. Marion tells Donald of Lionel's grief caused by the parting with his father, and tries further to get him, Donald, to be good. He promises he will lead a better life. The father, realizing her true worth, forgives Lionel for his marriage. Written by
