- This picture gives us a fine view of a Japanese tea garden with a comedy woven around an American girl tourist and her two suitors. Like all lovers, they search out romantic spots to let their romantic feelings have full sway, but it comes about that they are often interrupted in their sweetness by the arrival of the little lady of the tea house. The real event of the picture does not occur until the lady forgets her velvet bag and young Sir Gallant hurries back to bring it to her, though he hates to leave her side even for a moment. It then befalls that on his return with his love's precious possession, he meets another fair damsel in distress, who has sprained her ankle, and Sir Gallant hastens to her side. The distressed lady nearly faints in his arms, and who should see the fond embrace but his own fair lady love from a distance. Sir Gallant tries to explain to his lady love, but she will not listen: she thinks he is false. Vainly he tries to seek an interview, and in his distress he pleads with the little Japanese lady of the tea house to help him find a moment alone with the woman he loves, and the dusky maiden contrives a very clever trick wherewith Sir Gallant carries his lady love far away from the maddening crowd in a rickshaw and runs with her far out into the ocean. Helpless and alone, she is forced to listen to his explanation, and the true light of love returns as it is ever with a man and a maid.

- When Gregory Van Houten went to the country to recuperate, he intended to remain only a few weeks and then return to plunge into the swirl of city gaieties. But when Van Houten returned he brought with him a country-girl wife and set upon himself the seal of new duties and obligations. Jean Haskins was the daughter of Farmer Haskins, who owned the place where Van Houten boarded. She was a simple child of nature, trustful and devoted to the new ideals of happiness that Van Houten brought into her young life. Farmer Haskins warned the young folks that they were storing trouble for themselves in marrying; he told them that their lives had been so different that they would eventually find that they could not continue happily. Nevertheless, they married and returned to town happy. At the first social function they attended, Gregory realized that his wife wasn't prepared for the butterfly life. One of Gregory's club friends, James Hanley, saw in the young bride a conquest. His attentions to Jean soon centered Gregory's suspicions upon them; meanwhile, Gregory turned to a woman in his own set for companionship. Upon an incident that looked worse than it really was, Gregory based cause for a divorce and won his case. Then he married the other woman, a society butterfly. The shock completely changed Jean's good, wholesome nature; she turned into a viper bent upon revenging herself upon the man who had violated his obligation and made a mockery of her love. Hanley gained his point, but in possessing himself of Jean gained more of companionship than her love as recompense. Years later Gregory and Jeanmet again and her beauty fired his heart with desire. Jean connived to reap her vengeance. When Hanley was called away Jean refused to accompany him, setting up as an excuse that a few months' separation would lead them to a better understanding of their position. Gregory takes advantage of a free field and Jean coyly leads him on. Gregory neglected the wife he married when he divorced Jean and turned all his attentions to Jean. Suddenly Hanley appeared upon the scene, and Jean made a way to a greater revenge than she had planned. The men engaged in a personal encounter and when Hanley seemed to be getting the better of the fight, Jean fired a revolver at the struggling forms and killed Hanley. The sudden outcome of the combat benumbed Gregory's senses. Jean placed the revolver in his hand just as the police entered and they found Gregory bending over the prostrate form of his rival. In the trial that ensued Jean swore that Gregory fired the shot, and her vengeance is almost completed by the verdict of the jury that Gregory was guilty of deliberate murder. But when the court guard goes to bring the prisoner to hear his doom, they find him dead upon the cot of his cell and Jean is left to contemplate the sad ending of her youthful romance.

When the woman reaches home she discovers that her child has met with an accident and is badly injured. She immediately thinks of Paul and brings him to the child. He exerts his healing power, and soon the child is asleep. The woman repents and returns the money, which Paul promises to keep a little longer. He seats himself in the next room with the money in his hand. The thief and the murderer enter. The murderer lifts his knife; Paul turns and faces them. The woman rushes in to see what is the matter.
