While visiting a relative she meets Bob, a sturdy country youth. Her propensity for flirting comes to the surface and Bob becomes madly infatuated. It is his first great love and he fairly worships the woman. This is a new experience for Imogene and although it appeals to her vanity, she fears that the youth will commit some mad act and promises to marry him rather than undeceive him. Imogene returns home. The weeks pass and Bob receives no answer to his letters. He goes to the city in search of his sweetheart and finds her in Jack's arms. The boy loses his head and shoots Jack. He makes no attempt to escape and is sentenced to five years' imprisonment, while Jack, who has recovered, marries Imogene. Five years later Imogene is a widow, and again starts on her mad career of breaking hearts. She meets Count De Launay and falls in love with him. They are married. After the ceremony they repair to their hotel. To Imogene's surprise, her husband steps into an adjoining room. The vain woman sits down in front of the dressing table and admired herself in the mirror. Suddenly her husband's reflection appears in the mirror before her, not Count De Launay, with his distinguished "Imperial," but Bob, the ex-convict, in his prison apparel. She falls at his feet without a cry as he gazes sternly upon her. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
