ORPHEO TODAY.
"ShadOWS of tine PaSt."

The picture opens with the libora determination to lead respectable lives. Stettson, who has kept track of the three, knowing of their release, visits them in their home and insin- uates that he still has them in his power. Fearful that his influence might again drag them from the straight path they flee the city.
 Five years later, Brandon, by per severance and industry, has achieved a position of trust in an insurance company, and Antoinette a situation as secretary to Haddon, the popular candidate for governor, who has fall en in love with her and presses her to marry him. Antoinette promises to 1 become his wife, but not until after i the election.
 Stetson, a supposed friend of Had don, visits the lawyers office. sees Antoinette, and follows her home. He discovers she is living with the Brandons, and determines to use them in his scheme of selling Haddon ot the opposition candidate. Bran don resents the politicians advances of friendship, but is compelled to ac- cede to his wishes, though not until after a desperate struggle, in which the willy schemer obtains the upper hand.
 During the nomination dinner the BrandOns are to induce HaddOn to visit a famous cafe, by telling him he will find Antoinettte and Stettson i there together, cause a disturbance, create scandal, and endanger the candidates chances for election. In the meantime, StetsOn makes love to Antoinette in sight of HaddOn. She resents his attentions, but, because of his knowledge of her past, is com pelled to accept them. He proposes she help him in just one more inno- go out of her life forever. Still fear full of him, she consents, and they leave together. Stetson takes her to his apartments. Antoinette becomes suspicious when she finds the doors locked, and demands to know what he intends doing. He tells her he is going to break Haddon. Thinking Antoinette is safe in his power, Stet- son phones Brandon to go ahead. She gets an inkling of what Stetson in- tends doing, and by clever ruse es- capes, and by taxi makes all speed to reach the cafe and Haddon in time to prevent the fulfillment of the plot
 Stetson and his female accomplice follow in another machine. Antoin- cites taxi dashes across railroad track just in time to escape an on- coming train. Stetson, trying to fol- low, smashes into the engine, and the occupants of the auto are hurled to their death. Antoinette reaches the cafe before the Brandons have had time to carry out the politicians s orders, and they, surmising something has gone wrong, decide to make the best of the situation. Haddon, when leaving the cafe, purchases a news paper extra giving details of the acci- dent. Antoinette, no longer fearing her Nemesis, tells Haddon of her past and he forgiving, all ends happily.
