Seeing his wife Cora in the arms of John Howland, Colonel West commits suicide, not realizing that John actually has been trying to discourage Cora's attentions. When John saves Lola Maynard from the two ruffians who have attacked her on the street, she also gives him her heart, although she elects to keep her love a secret. Still hopeful of winning John, Cora informs him that his wife Hilda is carrying on an affair with a young millionaire named Paul Wescott, whereupon the outraged husband threatens to kill his wife's lover. While John serves time in prison for "murderous assault," a charge of which he is innocent, Hilda obtains a divorce and marries Paul. Upon John's release, he goes to Paul's home, this time intending to carry out his threat, but Lola and his friend, Peter Hyde, detain him. John then learns that lightning has killed Paul and permanently blinded Hilda. Finally realizing his love for Lola, John forgets his anger, and Lola completes his happiness by declaring her love for him.
