Silas comes courting, bringing his violin. Silas and Maggie marry and go to the city. The story is carried forward ten years and they have a child eight years old, Dora. Silas has become a successful business man and Maggie and he have drifted apart. At a ball at his home Silas shows a partiality for a society woman. Maggie is piqued and in a spirit of revenge allows Hamilton to pay her marked attentions. The next day Maggie becomes desperate in her loneliness and telephones Hamilton to come and take her out for an auto ride. He takes her to a roadhouse of somewhat shady repute. Silas and the society woman come to the same place and are ushered into an adjoining room. In the meantime little Dora finds her father's violin, which has been stored away for years. Silas hears Maggie's voice and she recognizes his and leaves the room, leaving Hamilton there. Silas creates a scene by breaking in the door and attacking Hamilton. Maggie hurries home and is met by Dora, who has her father's violin; they pack and go back to the farm. Silas returns home, sees the violin which has been left behind; it awakens tender memories and he hurries after his wife and child. They are reunited and once more happy.
