One day he is stricken with terror when he finds a bottle of the medicine in the hands of his little girl Helen, and he warns her never to touch it. But her curiosity is aroused and when her father has left for his office, she tastes the medicine and becomes violently ill. Young workman John Smith's little daughter Margaret is taken ill and her mother secures a bottle of the "remedy" at a drugstore. Instead of relieving the child's pain, the medicine causes her to lose consciousness and when the horrified father learns the cause, he determines to seek Watson's life. Smith forces his way into Watson's home and finds him at Helen's bedside. The revolver drops from the astonished workman's hand and the manufacturer hears the sound and steps into the next room, where he promises Smith that he will discontinue the manufacture of the "remedy," and skilled physicians succeed in restoring the health of the two children.
