Keeping her past a secret, Jean later becomes the wife of Gregg, a lawyer. Kelsey makes good and is appointed manager of a lumber company. Gregg and Kelsey become friends. Invited to spend the week-end at the lawyer's home, Kelsey is astounded to discover that his hostess is none other than Jean. During the evening, conversation turns into sociological channels. Unaware that Kelsey is an ex-convict, Grebb declares that the prison leaves a stain which can never be removed. It is his opinion that once a crook, always a crook. That night, Bunts, the butler, steals a large sum of money from Gregg's safe. The man escapes from the house, but his suspicious actions later bring about his arrest. Gregg discovers his loss. A horrible suspicion enters the minds of Jean and Kelsey. A policeman who is summoned, recognizes the two and denounces them as ex-convicts. Gregg is stunned. As he turns upon Jean and Kelsey, his 'phone rings. Answering, he learns that Bunt has confessed his theft under the third degree. Gregg then realizes how unjust his suspicions have been. Placing his arms about the shoulders of his wife and his guest, he informs them that his narrow-minded views have been swept away forever. Written by
