- Mayor of Lynboro, Loren Hayward is so dedicated to his work, he soon neglects Milly his young wife. In order to rekindle his affections, she engages in a flirtation with ladies' man Robert Chapman, an all too willing suitor who forces her to kiss him. As Robert embraces Milly, Loren appears and angrily orders them both from the house. After abducting her son Bobby, Milly flees to another city, but Loren follows them and takes the boy back home. Learning afterwards that Loren and Bobby have contracted scarlet fever, Milly breaks into the house and nurses them back to health, and husband and wife are reconciled. During a party, however, Robert mistakenly enters Milly's room, but she is saved from a compromising situation when burglars break in through the window. As the terrified Milly faints, Robert escapes in the confusion.—Pamela Short
- Milly Hayward was discontented because her husband gave the best of his time and attention to his duties as the new Mayor of Lynboro, duties which crowded her out of hit life. Innocently she confided her pique to Loren's Aunt Abbie and to Georgia, two women who had always hoped that Loren would marry Georgia. They advised her to start a flirtation to rouse Loren, and suggested Robert Chapman. The flirtation proved a boomerang. Chapman, encouraged, tried to kiss Milly by force. Loren, happening upon the scene, whipped Chapman, took his little son, Bobby, and ordered Milly from the house. Meanwhile Loren continued his preparations to prosecute Joseph Willoughby. a contractor and political power, for municipal graft. Milly went to Loren's office to make a final plea. While there she accidentally brushed into her open traveling bag the documentary evidence on which Loren relied to convict Willoughby. Stealing Bobby from her husband's new home, she fled to another city. There she was followed by Chapman and also by Loren, who believed that she took the Willoughby papers intentionally. Loren arrived just in time to meet Milly and Chapman together. Seizing little Bobby, he denounced them both and left. But when Bobby and Loren lay ill with fever, Milly's love led her back, when she and Loren patched up their differences. She returned the Willoughby papers, which she had discovered when she unpacked her bag. The Haywards decided to give a party to celebrate their reunion. During the party, Loren was called to his office. Burglars, in the pay of politicians, had broken in, hoping to secure the Willoughby documents. Milly retired, suffering with a headache. The attention of Chapman was distracted by a flirtation with a pretty maid as he went upstairs for his overcoat and hat, and it was quite inadvertently that he entered Milly's room just as Loren came in the front door and started up the stairs. Fearing to lose her husband for the second time, through no fault of her own, Milly locked her door to gain time. As she did so, the burglars, still after the Willoughby papers, entered through the window. When Loren finally got the door open, he found only his wife in a faint and a dead burglar. So Milly's honor was vindicated.—Moving Picture World synopsis
