Syrno, Mary Page, actress, is accused of the murder of David Pollock, and is defended by her lover, Philip Lungdon. Pollock was intoxicated. At Mary's trial, she admits the murder of Mary, threatened Pollock with a revolver, and Mary's leading man implicates Langdon. Mary disappeared from the scene of the crime, is a mystery. Brandon tells of a strange hand print he saw on Mary's shoulder. Further evidence shows that horror of drink produces temporary insanity in Mary. The mother is "repressed" psychology. Witnesses describe Mary's night from her intoxicated father and her father's suicide. Nurse Walton describes the kidnapping of Mary by Pollock, and Amy Barton tells of Mary's struggles to become an actress, of Pollock's pursuit of her, and of another occasion when the smell of liquor drove Mary insane. There is evidence that Daniels, Mary's manager, threatened Pollock. Mary faints on the stand and again goes insane when a policeman offers her whisky. Daniels testifies that Pollock threatened to kill Mary and Langdon, and actually attempted to kill Langdon. Two witnesses describe Mary's flight to the street from the hotel, and her abduction by men from a gambling place.  Near-by. Further evidence seems to incriminate Daniels.
