- Most of the patients of Dr. Ward Allison are women, and his wife Margery is becoming increasingly jealous of all the time he spends with them. One day he tells her that he has been called out of town, but she is told that he is really staying at the house of a friend and colleague, Dr. Hendon, and the two are planning wild parties with their female patients. What she finds out, however, is even more shocking than what she expected.—frankfob2@yahoo.com
- Marjorie Allison was consumed with jealousy. She found fault with her husband, Dr. Ward Allison, for looking twice at a woman at a theater, though he was unconscious of any harm. At a masked ball she caught him dancing twice with one woman and reproached him with it. So her passion for suspecting the worst of her husband went on in spite of his explanations and reproaches. One night there came a call for Dr. Allison. The wife suspected that the doctor was being led astray by some charmer and didn't inform him of the call. Later the call came again. Dr. Allison hastened away to tend the patient, a child who had pneumonia. By strenuous efforts the doctor preserved the life of the child. He was unwilling to forgive his wife at first, but she showed him some baby clothes that she was working on and he yielded because of her condition. Marjorie stifled her jealousy for a while and everything was lovely in the Allison home. Then the doctor became infected with tetanus while treating a patient in a hospital. To guard his wife from the shock of knowing his danger, Dr. Allison made a pretense of going on a journey but went instead to the home of a friend, Dr. Jim Hendon. Through a friend named Edna, Marjorie found out where her husband was stopping and immediately she was overcome with jealousy. She resisted the suspicion for a long time, but the desire to know what her husband was doing at his friend's house was too strong for her. She sent a detective to the house. He heard Dr. Hendon calling up a nurse and suspected that there was going to be a party there. He voiced his suspicion to Marjorie and she rushed to the house. Posing as a nurse, Marjorie gained admission to the Hendon house. It was the critical moment of the operation on Allison's throat and a hairbreadth deviation by the surgeon's knife would spell death for him. Not realizing this, the girl-wife broke into the office where she saw the coat and hat of a woman. The surgeon, but Marjorie didn't know this and was almost wild with jealousy. She rushed to the room where the operation was taking place and had her hand on the doorknob ready to burst in. Then a vision came to her of the various times she had wrongfully suspected her husband and the promises she had made never to yield to the green monster again. Her better nature triumphed and she resolved to trust her husband. After her return home a feeling of happiness stole over her as the spirit of faith in her husband lifted her out of the morass of jealousy. The next morning she learned of the operation and its successful termination. So her faith was justified and she went to the bedside of Allison with a face radiant with love and happiness.—Moving Picture World synopsis
