    Storyline

    Edit
    Mr. John Wiltz is extremely fond of his secretary, Herbert Van Kirkland, which causes jealousy among the other employees. They plot to have their employer hear evil things of the secretary, and Van Kirkland is discharged. The newspapers expose a shady transaction which had been supervised by Wiltz, and the only witness, Van Kirkland, is gone. Wiltz is snubbed by all his former friends. A year later we see him addicted to drink, sick and alone, all on account of listening to "he who speaketh evil." Moral: do not convict until justly tried. —Moving Picture World synopsis

    This is worth sitting through
    A very pretty and well-worked out picture which carries with it a moral lesson. Jealousy and vituperation in a business office force furnish the theme, with a counter plot of love hinged on, of course. It is all interesting and well acted and directed. The clean-cut plot is void of anything objectionable, the action is a little abrupt in some instances, which seems to be a growing fault with directors. However, this is worth sitting through and will be thought of afterward. - The Moving Picture World, March 14, 1914
