The Triflers

Wealthy Marjorie Stockton marries Monte Covington to protect herself from several overeager suitors. While Monte treats the marriage lightly, Marjorie quickly falls in love with her new husband. Peter Noyes, another of Marjorie's suitors, is blinded and she takes pity on him. Monte mistakes Marjorie's attention to Peter as love and decides to leave her. Marjorie declares her love for Monte, and Peter, who has also misinterpreted her actions, shoots them both in a jealous rage. Fortunately for the couple, their wounds are not serious, and they look forward to a bright future together.
