Overview

From the notable stage success by Augustus Thomas

Margaret Kennard takes her baby daughter Agnes and leaves her husband Eustace for James Carroll. Upon discovering that James is a thief, she leaves him, joins the Salvation Army, and places Agnes in a convent. Twenty years pass. Agnes marries young Congressman Blake. James is now a lobbyist trying to prevent Blake from passing an anti-profiteering bill. Attempting to help her husband, Agnes sets out to prove that James is a scoundrel.
