Plot
As described in a film magazine review, "Olympia Brewster, a young college-bred woman, becomes a waitress at a mediocre hotel, and then marries a man she does not love to escape this drudgery. Immediately after the ceremony, she realizes his true character and leaves him, fleeing the hotel just as a gunshot is fired downstairs. Through a window she sees her husband prostrate and believes him killed. Later she reads his death notice in a newspaper. Not long thereafter Olympia's uncle dies, leaving her a small fortune. She marries a prosperous young attorney who becomes mayor, and later a candidate for governor. During a political crisis, he hires a secretary that he takes into his home. The secretary gives his name as Steele, though he bares a sterling resemblance to the wastrel Olympia had one married. Steele disarms her suspicions, but, after arranging the betrayal of the mayor to his political opponents, Steele brazenly informs his employer that he is his wife's husband and will have to be so acknowledged, or the mayor will have to withdrawal his candidacy for governor. An aged lady who has become Olympia's guest through unusual circumstances places in Olympia's hands the papers needed to thwart Steele's scheme, a certificate of marriage between Steele and a servant that is now Olympia's housekeeper."Cast
