Unable to bear the abuse of her drunken soldier husband, the wife left her home and went to the city, where she became a nurse in a hospital. Her husband, recovering from a spree, treated his wife's disappearance as a joke and soon went with his company to the Philippines. Meantime a doctor at the hospital had fallen in love with the young wife and when news came from the Philippines that her husband had been killed she married him. They were very happy and a child was born to them. To a friend in her old home she sent a photograph of herself and family. Then her soldier husband returned for he had not been killed. During a reception at her new home he appeared on the scene. A dancer was to be there, but being unable to keep the engagement, the wife had prepared to perform the dance herself. The appearance of her soldier husband greatly excited her for it made her second marriage illegal. She thought of her baby who was playing innocently in his little bed, but she determined to go on with the dance. It was a weird, Oriental dance and the dancer held in her hand a dagger. Though you see nothing of this in the picture, the end finds her cruel soldier husband and herself mortally wounded. Then with her last breath she was married again to the doctor and died happy, knowing that her child's honor was saved.
