Plot

As described in a film magazine review, Ruth Minchin is unhappily married to her father's business partner Gabriel, who is a drunken brute. She starts a friendship with Severino, a pianist who lives in the same apartment building. Her husband discovers them together, orders Severino from the room, and strikes his wife down. Severino kills Gabriel while in a delirium following pneumonia, and Ruth is suspected of the crime. She is befriended by Richard Steel, who knew her husband from their time in Australia. However, Richard is also suspected of the crime, and she cannot marry the man who may have killed her husband. She later recalls the confrontation when she had been with Severino, and under pressure the pianist confesses to the crime, solving the mystery and leaving Ruth Richard on the road to happiness.
