Although Mem has just married
Owen Scudder, she recoils in revulsion when he tries to become
affectionate with her on the observation deck of the train. |
 |
After running away from Scudder,
Mem is lost in the desert. Fortunately, a movie company is making
a picture there, and leading man Tom Holby gives the exhausted
and dehydrated wanderer some water. |
 |
Scudder escapes after being
captured by the police. He still has handcuffs on, though, and
happens upon the home of spinster Miss Tweedy. She falls for
his sob story and helps file the handcuffs off. |

Eve Southern plays an aspiring
actress who tells the casting director she is willing to "pay
the price" for a job. |
 |
Mem fails miserably at being
a comedienne. |
 |
Upon seeing the rushes of
her comedic efforts, Mem realizes how badly her screen test turned
out and breaks down and cries. Director Frank Claymore vows,
"I'll make an actress out of you if I have to break your
heart and every bone in your body!" |
 |
When Mem's parents come to
visit her at the studio, she begs them, "Promise me solemnly
you won't tell anybody here I'm married." |
 |
After a long absence, Scudder
learns Mem has become a successful actress and climbs in her
bedroom window one evening. |
 |
Seeing Claymore and Mem in
the garden drives Scudder into a jealous rage. He pulls a gun
on Claymore but is subdued. Mem begs Claymore to let him go with
the excuse that the incident would cause a scandal. Claymore
still doesn't know that Mem and Scudder are married. |
 |
Scudder is killed when he
saves Mem from being hit by the propellers on a wind machine. |
