This doddering magnate has an ungovernable temper that brings such immediate and sharp unhappiness to the young woman that she soon leaves him and seeks solace in a lonely resort at the seashore. The months fly by and the disappearance of the young wife is an unsolved mystery, until the body of a young woman washed ashore, is identified by banker Black as his wife by the clothing she wears. Strangely enough, she reads this account of her own presumed death in the paper, but she has learned to love a young author at the lonely resort, and visits her aged husband, hoping to get his consent to free her from her bonds. Her appearance at his hotel before him, as one returned from the dead, gives him such a shock, that he almost dies of heart failure. His valet, who has stood his abuse for years, manages to bring him back to life, but Black is in such a fit of temper, that he attempts to destroy the faithful servant and in the struggle that ensues, the latter kills him. The valet immediately surrenders himself to the police, arguing he acted in self-defense. Mrs. Black has now become free and eventually returns to those who have become more to her than mere money, and makes her home where her heart is. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
