Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[2] Mary Norwood's husband, a weakling, is framed by a gang of crooks and sent to prison to die for a murder he has not committed. His wife, believing implicitly in his innocence, assumes the role of a confidence woman, gets in with the gang, learns the truth by playing one gang member against the other for her affections.
