Then when the actress has been stripped of her money he abandons her to poverty. He establishes himself In a city under another name. He becomes prosperous enough to join a fashionable club which gives him entree into society. Then, through his son Clyde, he meets Mrs. de Lisle a rich widow. Mrs. de Lisle is the childhood chum of Mandell's abandoned wife, but he doesn't know that, nor does Mrs. de Lisle know that Mandell is the husband of her old friend. For some strong reason she admires this man, and before long they are tentatively engaged, but Clyde, her son, will have nothing to do with him. In the meantime. Ruth has left her mother and has gone upon the stage, and is known as "Glory West," a star. Clyde meets her. They fall in love, neither of them knowing anything of the other. Clyde takes Glory to his home, where she is snubbed by his mother and insulted by Mandell, her own father. Clyde and Glory marry at once. Glory lives in a fashionable apartment house, which is owned by the actress her father abandoned. Mandell, whose only thought is Mrs. de Lisle's money, calls on Glory in her dressing-room to urge her to marry Clyde, knowing that Clyde's mother will disinherit him in that case. Presuming that all actresses are alike, he takes Glory in his arms. Clyde comes in at that juncture and promptly knocks him down. In the heat of the moment, Clyde betrays the fact of their marriage. Mandell tells Clyde's mother of the marriage. The distracted woman sends for Glory's mother, her old chum, and the two women descend upon the apartment house, only to find that fate had brought their own children together. When Mandell comes to join them, he is recognized by the actress, who secretly summons the police. When he enters Glory's apartment one can imagine his consternation, despised by his deserted wife, scorned by his prospective one, he retires in confusion only to find himself in the arms of the law.
