Overview
Leaving his wife Rose for a few weeks and eager to do research for his new novel about the elderly, Henry Norman goes to live in a home for the aged, where Blossom, the home's young maid, falls in love with him. When she lets him know how she feels, however, Henry tells her that he has a wife, and then, his research over, he returns to her. He discovers, however, that Rose has eloped with his friend, Perry Westley, and that they both have been killed by a lightning bolt that struck Perry's car.
