Plot

Two business partners pursue the same woman. She accepts the marriage proposal of the irresponsible partner, much to her later regret. He squanders money on gambling, as his interest in her gradually wanes. One day after losing the company money in a card game, he decides to commit suicide. He telephones his wife from the office, as he puts a revolver near his head. The wife tries to keep him talking while the reliable business partner races to the office in an attempt to save his old friend. Will he make it in time?—Thomas McWilliams <tgm@netcom.com>

The self-centered man, ever confident of his success, wins in love over the more sensitive friend. Assurance and success come naturally. Overwhelmed by the game of chance, it is significant that he takes his defeat with less philosophy than most men. To him it is utter failure, the end of all. His incompatible nature causes him to carry his rash act to the climax, nor can others prevent.—Moving Picture World synopsis
