Wayman, dressed in evening clothes, visits an opium den. He smokes the fatal pipe and dreams. He imagines himself in destitute circumstances, and being a fiend to the drug, inhabits the lowest kind of opium dens. He is refused admittance to one. He enters another where he is about to be thrown out when a woman comes to his assistance. She gives him some money, which he gives to a Chinaman. The Chinaman then has him put out. Knowing where he will pass, the woman awaits his arrival. He is about to stab her when she tells him of her love. Returning home Wayman discovers his wife is giving a card party. Mrs. Wayman's father enters the room where Wayman is staggering under the effects of the drug. He gives him a glass of whiskey to brace him up. Wayman then decides to dress for the party. During his absence, the woman of the underworld, he had met in the opium den, climbs through the open window. She robs the desk of several hundred dollars. Hearing footsteps she hides behind a screen. Wayman enters and discovers the loss of the money. The woman jumps from behind the screen and pulls a revolver on Wayman. Seeing his face she realizes that it is her lover. She tries to persuade him to leave his home. A quarrel ends with Wayman being killed. At this point. Wayman comes out of his dream. Rushing from the opium den to his home he greets his wife and child and promises never to smoke again. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
