Men Synopsis

Poverty forces Mrs. Burton to allow the wealthy Mr. Fairbanks, whose wife has become deranged since her baby's death, to adopt Alice, one of her two little girls, while the other, Laura, stays with her mother. Kept in ignorance of each other's existence, the girls grow to womanhood and unknowingly become involved with the same man: vain, wealthy Roger Hamilton. Roger becomes intimate with Laura by promising to marry her, but Alice's wealth soon becomes irresistible to him, and when she quarrels with her fiancé, Tom Courtney, Roger presses his suit with ardor. On the day that Roger is to marry Alice, Laura tells her mother of her own affair with him; Mrs. Burton rushes to the church and publicly denounces the villain. Alice returns to Tom, while Laura is married to artist Anthony Gerard, who loved her all along.

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.
