When Linee realizes the trouble her marriage to Don has caused, she runs away, Martha does her utmost to stir up trouble. For two years Don searches in vain for Linee, who has become a cabaret dancer.

Packard, summoned by Linee, comes to the city, accompanied by Martha. Linee learns that they propose to take Don away from her and spirits him away.

The bandage is replaced. Disappointed and heart-sick. Don determines to do away with himself. Fate, however, frustrates his attempt and Linee resumes her place as her husband's nurse. Don's father and Martha finally discover his whereabouts. Linee is seated near Don, reading one of David's Psalms to him, when the minister and Martha enter.
