Plot

As described in a film magazine,[3] Annabelle Rose (De Remer) is employed as a nurse by aged millionaire Howard Eliot (Carleton), who desires beauty in the person who cares for him. He grows fond of her and asks her to marry him so that he can leave his millions to her instead of his son Arthur (Strong). She refuses, so he makes a new will and places an envelope in her hands that she is to open sixty days after his death. Howard dies and Annabelle is considered responsible. She finds it impossible to obtain work and after suffering and close to starvation she answers an advertisement for a temporary wife. It turns out that it was placed by Arthur who, by the terms of his father's will, must marry some other woman than Verna Devore (Boland), a fortune seeker whom his father opposed. Annabelle consents to the temporary arrangement after opening the letter after sixty days and discovering that she has inherited the Eliot fortune. Through the influence of Judge Laton (Breese), Verna is cast aside and Arthur's temporary wife becomes permanent.
