The Other Man's Wife (1915)
Worn out from overwork, Governor Grant decides to take a vacation. Bidding farewell to his pretty young wife Madge, he tells his Private Secretary to look after things, and starts incognito for the mountains. Becoming bored with hunting, etc., he amuses himself by flirting with his guide Jake's wife, arousing his jealousy. The mountaineer sees his wife in a man's embrace, and shoots him, thinking it is Grant. To his horror he finds that he has killed his father-in-law, who had arrived for a visit during his absence, the Governor having returned to the city the day before. Jake gives himself up to the authorities. Fortunately the father-in-law recovers. Meanwhile, the Governor plunges into work and becomes so completely absorbed in it he neglects his wife, who has found in the Secretary a sympathetic confidante. The Governor discovers her sobbing on the young man's shoulder, and, despite her tearful pleadings, orders her from his home and discharges the Secretary, Jake's wife decides to go see her husband in jail, and the warden is so touched by their meeting that he suggests she visit the Governor about a pardon. She goes, and mutual recognition follows. Pointing accusingly at the Governor, she denounces him for breaking up her home and being indirectly the cause of Jack's incarceration. She then tells her story and he begins to realize he is to blame for it all. Another thought occurs to him, "Who am I that I should cast the first stone at my wife." He accordingly writes out a pardon for Jake at once, gives it to the grateful little woman, then starts out to find Madge. When he finds her, each begs forgiveness of the other. After a thorough understanding of their mistakes, they agree to let the past bury itself and forget it all in the happiness of the future.
