- Abstract
- Bernice Iverson is a she-devil who runs away from her husband to San Francisco where she begins work in a business office. There she meets Dominick Ryan, a rich young man, whom she seduces and marries. When she proves unable to force her way into the rich social circle in which the Ryan's belong, she becomes infuriated and reveals her true character. Horrified, Dominick flees San Francisco in the depth of winter and goes to a mountain hotel. On the way. he encounters a terrible snow storm and is overcome by the cold. He is rescued by a volunteer search party and is carried to the hotel where he is nursed back to health by Rose, the beautiful daughter of old Bill Canon, who soon falls in love with Dominick. The story concludes in dramatic fashion as Bernice tries to manipulate the situation while Dominick struggles to free himself from her so he can marry Rose.
