A moment later, when Forest drove up the curb, Dr. Wilton informed him that to be late again would mean dismissal. Dr. Wilton determined to buy an automobile. The next week one was installed, and, of course, Forest lost his job. Months go by. The fruitless search for work has discouraged Forest, who determines to rob the doctor's house. His thoughts are interrupted by his child. She wants him to play with her. She consents to hide her face while he hides her shoe in his pocket. The game is interrupted by his wife, who informs him that the rent collector has called several times. That night Forest gains access to the doctor's house and proceeds to fill his pockets with the doctor's silverware. While cleaning out his pocket he pulls out his baby's shoe. Slowly he realizes what he is about to do. He sees in a vision his wife questioning the child about the missing shoe. Dr. Wilton, who has heard a noise, enters. He is dumbfounded at what he sees, but appearing to understand the situation, he silently withdraws. Forest returns home to find his wife waiting for him. She feels instinctively what he has done and searches his pockets, only to find the baby's shoe. Slowly she understands, and raising her arms in supplication above, thanks God for the talisman that saved her husband. It is a great surprise to Forest and his wife, when the doctor visits them the next day and offers his ex-coachman the job of driving his car. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
