The scene opens with a young man seated in his home waiting for his wife, who has gone to a theater. The impatience of the young man suggests that she is late in returning. A sound outside attracts his attention, and he goes to the window and, looking out, sees the approach of a motor car, from which his wife steps out, accompanied by a man. This circumstance arouses the jealousy of the husband, and when his wife enters, he upbraids her angrily for her conduct, and refusing explanations he suddenly throws her from him with such force that she falls upon the floor. The wife retires to her chamber in great distress and goes to bed leaving the husband in the agonizing pangs of jealousy. Wild with rage, he enters the chamber and going to the bedside makes a move as if to strangle the sleeping woman, but is turned from his purpose and leaves the room. Still greatly distressed, he sits down in a chair and goes to sleep. In his troubled dreams he sees himself approach the grave of his wife, upon which he throws himself, sobbing and remorseful. Two officers come upon him and the next picture shows him in a cell with the warden reading the death sentence. Then he is taken to the place of execution, where the guillotine and the executioner stand ready to carry out the mandates of the law. Just as he is about to be decapitated, he wakes with a scream, which brings his wife from her chamber. The young man is overjoyed in discovering that it was but a dream, and embraces his wife with fervor. She then takes from her bosom a card, upon which is written a message from her brother, explaining that he met her at the theater and took her to dinner, and asking the husband's pardon for keeping her out so late.
