Plot
As described in a film magazine, Myrtle Hill (White) is the wife of John Hill (Emery), a successful contractor who, because of his devotion to his work, he neglects his wife. He has to make a hurried business trip to San Francisco and wants his wife and child to accompany him. After debating the matter, the wife falls asleep and dreams that she has divorced her husband and married a draftsman. He mistreats her and casts her off for an actress. The actress, sympathizing with her, brings the wife face-to-face with this husband, but he turns against her. She attempts suicide by jumping from a high bridge into the water, but then wakes up with her hand in an aquarium. She hurriedly dresses and together with her little boy Cyril (Johnson) accompanies her husband on his trip.
