Plot
According to a film magazine, "Mrs. Lenning, a designing widow, tells Jackson that his wife is weaning Billy's affection from him. Jackson commands his wife to call upon Mrs. Lenning and invite her to visit them at their Florida home, threatening to take only Billy with him if she refuses. In Florida Mrs. Jackson and Billy meet Richard Darcia, a writer, and become very friendly with him. In the meantime Mrs. Lenning is gradually winning Jackson, who demands a divorce from his wife, asking for the custody of Billy. They purposely allow Mrs. Jackson to overhear a conversation which will induce her to run away with Billy. They surprise her in Richard's home. Jackson secures a divorce and the boy. Jackson realizes his wife's mother-love for Billy when she is about to sacrifice her life for the boy. Mrs. Jackson is made doubly happy by the return of Billy and her new-found love in Richard."
