This modern treatment of an old melodrama will have folks hissing, booing and applauding.

The sweet heroine is Melody Lane, a self educated and lovely orphan who falls into the hands of scoundrel Windermere Hightower.

After Melody and the villain are married, he tells her that he expects her to carry out his criminal schemes.

Revolted, she flees a wife in name only.

Several months later she is at the None Such ranch where she falls in love with stalwart Lucius Goodenough.

When Windermere appears at the ranch, Melody is appalled.

He tries to force his attentions on her and Lucius knocks him down.

For revenge, Winderemere steals money and plants it on Lucius.

His dirty work is discovered and he is unmasked but he gets away and returns to the ranch disguised as a peddler.

And once again the virtuous heroine is rescued by guess who?
