Myrtle is incorrigible, while Edna is sweet and lovable. Upon getting mixed up in a wild escapade at a cabaret, as a result of which Frank Norman is seriously injured in a fight, Myrtle leaves town at night with Carl Whitman. Her family, unable to endure the disgrace, also moves to a different city. A year later, Edna is courted by Harry Anderson and Walter Irving, both of whom are deeply in love with her. She loves and accepts Harry, and Walter swears revenge. Edna's father has insisted that she keep all knowledge of her twin sister from her husband, and when Walter meets Myrtle he gets an idea. He sends Edna a note, purporting to come from her sister, asking her to come and see her alone. In this manner he succeeds in getting her in a compromising position. He then has Harry come to a certain restaurant where the latter sees Myrtle, whom Harry thinks is his wife because of the resemblance, in a tender attitude with Carl. In a frenzy he shoots her and escapes. Edna meanwhile escapes from the room where Walter has locked her in, and goes home. Harry is stunned at her appearance, for he believes he has shot her at the restaurant. Rushing out of the house he gives himself up to the police, and in the morning explanations clear up everything, and Harry and Edna are reunited in peace and happiness. Myrtle recovers from her wound, and a changed woman as a result of her experiences, begs forgiveness of Edna and Harry, which is granted, and marries Carl. The Road of Many Turnings has at last straightened out into the broad highway of virtue and happiness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
