Plot
Business millionaire Drogo Gaines (John Hubbard) is about to marry his fiancé Helen Newton (Polly Ann Young), but fakes a nervous breakdown before his own wedding because he has cold feet. He overhears Helen talk to her brother (Edward Norris) and mother (Florence Bates) about them losing Drogo's fortune if the wedding doesn't go through. This makes Drogo decide to call the wedding off entirely. Helen is furious and refuses to be dumped at the altar like this, attacking Drogo and trying to make it look like he is the one attacking her. Her brother Ed comes to her aid and knocks Drogo out. When Drogo wakes up again he is in a mental institution, and is considered insane and dangerous to others.
