The Law Forbids

In a deft exploration of matrimonial dissonance, The Law Forbids chronicles the tribulations of Paul and Rhoda Remsen, a couple beset by irreconcilable differences that precipitate their separation. A custody arrangement is forged, wherein their progeny, Peggy, spends six months of the annum with each parent. Rhoda relocates to a bucolic farm town, while Paul remains ensconced in the metropolis, collaborating with the actress Inez Lamont on a theatrical production. Peggy, cognizant of her mother's lingering ardor for Paul, embarks on a peregrination to the city to apprise her father of the situation. Rhoda, upon learning of Peggy's whereabouts, converges on the metropolis and attends Paul's play, which is disrupted by a series of anarchic capers perpetrated by Peggy's demented rooster. Inez, incensed by the chaos, storms out, facilitating a rapprochement between Paul and Rhoda.
