Her Secret Synopsis

Clara Weston, on her way back East to accept a secretarial position, is delayed along the road and forced to spend the evening at a frontier hotel and dance hall. During the night, while a fight is in progress in the saloon downstairs, Clara is raped by a drunken surveyor who enters her room with the belief that it is the apartment of a dance hall girl with whom he had arranged a clandestine rendezvous. The next morning, Clara resumes her trip to the city where she learns that she is pregnant. By coincidence, she becomes secretary to Rex Fenton, her assailant, but does not recognize him because he has shaved his beard. They fall in love and are married, and Fenton unknowingly adopts his own child. Later, Fenton discovers Clara's past and renounces her for not being truthful with him. However, when a scar on his wrist inflicted by his victim betrays that Fenton was Clara's attacker, he begs her forgiveness, which Clara grants for the sake of their child.
