How to live so as to get the most out of his allotted time is the question with him now. His thoughts take him back to a time when he acted as escort to his fiancée while on her errands of charity to some drug fiends. Thinking only of satisfying his craving for pleasure, no matter how short lived, he believes cocaine will afford him the most during his last six months on earth. He begins its use. The drug grips him in quick order. He forsakes his friends, everybody that will not cater to his passion for pleasure and goes down, down, down in the scale of society, until the bottom is reached. Then he finds out that the doctor made a mistake and mixed his case with the diagnosis of another man. He goes to see the doctor, bent on murder, but finds the old fellow already a victim of one of his own experiments. Then, the office boy to Ellsworth pulls his manuscript from his machine and rushes in to his employer with this story, the climax. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
