The World of Today

Nellie, a poor flower-girl, supporting her idle father and brother, tires of her wretched life and decides to strike for a higher and easier one. She meets Arthur Wallace, a wealthy banker, by means of an arranged accident. He marries her and lavishes his wealth on her until he meets with reverses. He pleads with Nellie to give up her jewels and help him, but she refuses and deserts him. Nellie has met a new admirer, a wealthy baron, and leaves with him for Monte Carlo. Nellie's husband follows and traces her to the faro room, where a scene takes place. The baron defends her and a duel is arranged. Nellie, fearing for her life, leaves Monte Carlo with another admirer, known as "the count." The husband, wishing a reconciliation, enters Nellie's room. He finds her gone. The baron awakens and a terrific struggle takes place, Arthur throwing the baron out of the window to his death. The place takes fire and in the excitement Arthur makes his escape. The count takes Nellie to London, where she continues meeting many new admirers, who lavish their wealth on her. Nellie's husband has met with reverses and accepts a position as a butler in the count's family and meets Nellie face to face. An exciting chase takes place to the secret stairway in the haunted castle, where Arthur is trapped. Nellie again leaves the country for foreign parts, and while in France meets the aviator Pegoud, who invites her to the aviation field, where the largest Zeppelin dirigible balloon in the world is seen. The progress made by this vampire shows that a life of folly does not pay. In the end the husband whom she has left so cruelly finds her, and under the disguise of her chauffeur, rides her to her death over a yawning precipice to the valley below.
