- Ira, who is employed at the oil station, falls in love with Flossie, wife of Jack, as they drive by. Ira later announces to his father that he is going to the city, and does. Mary, his ex-fiancée, learns he has gone to the city and consoles the father of Ira by announcing that she, too, is going to bring Ira home. In the city Ira meets Hank, a property man in a theater, who invites him to come with him behind the scenes. Mary has wandered into the same theater. A drama, entitled "The Salary of Sin," is on, and during the action Jack threatens Flossie if she does not marry him. Flossie scorns Jack, and Jack thereupon steals a sum of money from a desk, places it under a rug and accuses Flossie of stealing it. Ira recognizes the principals. He takes the action literally, as does Mary, in the orchestra section. Ira has seen Jack place the money under the rug. It looks black for the accused Flossie, but Ira rushes on the stage, interrupts the performance and accuses Jack of stealing the money. There follows a struggle, much to the amusement of the audience and the consternation of Mary, who flees the theater. Ira is thrown out and, explaining to Hank, is told that Flossie has children older than Ira and has been married three times. Ira is disillusioned and Mary, happening on the scene at this critical period, the twain are reunited - happier and wiser.—Moving Picture World, September 1, 1917
