Plot Summary:Marion has two suitors, one is a sport and the other a policeman. In the opening scene the policeman meets Marion in the park. They sit down on a bench and he urges her to marry him. After Marion has reached home the sport calls, and realizing that he has a dangerous rival in the policeman, hastens to propose to Marion, telling her that if she will marry him she will be able to lead a life of luxury and ease. The policeman is evidently a favorite with Marion's mother, but the girl now has had her head turned with the prospect of enjoying wealth by marrying the sport, and shows indifference toward the policeman. Her mother tries to smooth things over with the policeman and insists that he sit down and take a meal with her. Marion falls asleep and dreams of her wedding with the sport. The visualization of her dreams is thrown on the screen and we see her being pelted with flowers by a joyous assemblage of wedding guests as the happy couple are leaving the church to start on their honeymoon. Next we see them established in a fully furnished apartment. Marion seems to be provided with everything that her heart could wish for. A change, however, comes over her dream, for after that we see the sport following his real profession at a gambling house, where he is caught cheating at cards and is ignominiously ejected. He goes home and enters in an angry mood. When Marion starts to cry, he brutally throws her aside, takes a key from her and goes to the dresser, where he appropriates her jewelry. Then he lights a cigar and presumably goes back to the gambling house, after having obtained more funds from the sale of the jewels. At all events we next find him down and out, as he and Marion are living in poverty. Soon afterwards the sport knocks a passer-by senseless and robs him. A boy gives the alarm, but the sport eludes the police, who are in close pursuit, and, entering his own house, he tells Marion to conceal the money he has stolen, and then rushes up to the attic to conceal himself. The policeman, Marion's former suitor, enters and recognizes her. At this point the mother awakens Marion, who is greatly relieved that she has merely had a horrible dream, and realizes \"what might have been\" her fate had she married the sport. The mother, deeming this to be the psychological moment to further the interests of the policeman, brings him into the parlor, and Marion falls into his arms.
