Storyline
Plot Summary |
Things look very bleak for Mrs. Marshall, an invalid whose ownership of a marble quarry depends on the delivery of a certain order to a cathedral. The shipment is ready and awaits only a confirmation of the order; but the awaited letter is being held by Power, a bank cashier who is determined to ruin both Mrs. Marshall and bank president Cooper by falsifying the bank's books. Cooper is jailed; his son, Charles, discovers Power's villainy and has several harrowing experiences in trying to get the marble shipment underway. In the end a tramp (The Wanderer) reveals himself to be a Secret Service agent and arrests Power. Her condition has kept Mrs. Marshall from accepting the love of Mr. Cooper, whose son loves Mrs. Marshall's daughter, Eunice; but now all are reunited, and Mrs. Marshall finds that she can walk.
