Valentine Corliss, a former member of the community, reappears with a big stock scheme and Cora falls for him. Pretending love, he uses Cora and endeavors to get her father to become secretary of his company knowing his name and reputation will lend prestige. Cora brings Corliss the paper with her father's signature which later proves to have been forged. Corliss makes a getaway but is nabbed as he reaches New York. In the meantime, the townspeople who have been cheated demand the arrest of Papa Madison. Cora, to get away, goes to Lindley but he says their engagement was a mistake. She then goes to another admirer and they are immediately married. Laura, learning of the situation, becomes enraged, gets Cora, and brings her home where she confesses, despite her father's attempt to keep her silent. Jimmy Madison, to whom Papa appealed when he got in trouble, appears and with the arrest of Corliss affairs are straightened out. Lindley, who through a prank of little Hedrick, has learned of Laura's intense love, sees his error and they become happily married. Written by Moving Picture World, December 30, 1922, 1922 See less
