When Richards performs an illegal abortion, he makes it look like Wayne is guilty, which gets Wayne sent to prison for five years. He emerges a changed man, a scoffer. By coincidence, he retreats to a village in the Northwest where Richards has gone with Alice. A kind townwoman, Margaret Haddon, urges Wayne to help a boy crippled by a beating from his father, but Wayne refuses. Margaret finally influences Wayne to perform the surgery, but during the operation an angry mob led by Richards descends upon the house. Wayne calls on Heaven for help and, by a miracle, the boy's life is saved and Wayne is deeply moved and his faith is restored. Written by Pamela Short See less
