Synopsis

The story of an inventor who is the first to make tele-vision work, he discovers the secret of the reflector and perfects the model and with a peep into his magic mirror sees his wife in another man's arms in a different part of the house. The jealous inventor then goes on to use his knowledge of electricity against the would-be seducer. The inventor at the climax has the seducer trapped and directs a man-killing X-ray spark against the man who threatened his home and happiness.
