Left standing at the altar by Renfro, Molly Shannon walks the streets aimlessly in a blinding rainstorm and faints in front of a sporting house, into which she is taken. Sometime later she meets Gregory Cochran, a wealthy judge with whom she finds true marital happiness. Gregory is being mentioned for the governorship, and a member of the opposition party threatens to nip Gregory's political career in the bud by revealing that he once saw Molly coming from a house of ill repute. Knowing that public mention of the incident will ruin her husband's career, Molly feigns suicide and disappears. On election eve, she is seen by Renfro, who goes to Gregory with the news of his wife's presence in this world. Molly sees Renfro and follows him to his room, where the two scuffle for possession of a gun. The gun accidentally goes off, mortally wounding Renfro. Gregory arrives, and Renfro exonerates Molly.
