Mrs. Hilliard admires and is deeply loved by Bruce Kingston, a rising young author. Their relationship is of the purest. Gossip plays with their names and infuriates Hilliard. He casts his wife out. saying he will divorce her. Kingston says he will marry Mrs. Hilliard as soon as the decree is entered. By chicanery and the aid of an unscrupulous attorney, Mrs. Hilliard is led to believe her husband has obtained a divorce when, as a matter of fact, he has not. Believing herself free she marries Kingston. Of course this second marriage is bigamous. That is part of Hilliard's revenge. When it suits his further purposes, he tells her of the trick that has been placed on her and she tells Kingston. She leaves Kingston and remains for years self-exiled in Europe. When she returns it is to find her daughter grown and destined to a splendid theatrical career. The daughter is to be starred in a new play of Kingston's. The two love each other devotedly. The daughter's stage name has hidden her real identity from Kingston. The mother-love is strongest, and Mrs. Hilliard does not reveal her past to her daughter nor does she tell her daughter about Kingston's connection with her own life. But Hilliard does when he learns of the marriage of his daughter to Kingston. The result of this is tragedy, swift and terrible in its dire effects. The one-time triangular situation bred by divorce is affecting the lives of four people. "Who's Guilty?" Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
