He perseveres, and soon becomes the chief designer for the clothing firm that employs him. Intoxicated by his success he forgets his wife and son and after a time ceases to write to them. Meeting Miss Morgenstern, the daughter of the head of a rival clothing firm, he falls in love with her and prepares to divorce his wife so that he may marry the young woman. Sarah is in despair at not hearing from her husband and eventually sails for America, intending to seek him out, convinced that some misfortune must have befallen him. The firm of Morgenstern and Son suffers severely from the competition of the firm employing Wolf and tries to secure his services. Wolf insists that if he work for Morgenstern he shall be made a partner of the firm. Morgenstern reluctantly agrees, with the proviso that Wolf change his name to that of Victor, his former partner. Wolf's identity being lost, Sarah and Alex, who have arrived in New York, are unable to find him. Their little stock of money being gone, they are reduced to severe distress, but at length they manage to obtain employment, Alex as an errand boy, and his mother as a finisher, both working for the firm of Morgenstern. Wolf, having obtained his divorce, is about to propose to Miss Morgenstern. He writes a letter to her and gets a bouquet of flowers to send with it. Asking for an errand boy to take the flowers, his son is sent to him. In course of a talk with the boy, Wolf learns of the privation that Sarah has suffered in seeking him and is filled with remorse. He tears up the letter to the young woman and sends for his wife, asking her forgiveness. Sarah and Alex are proudly acknowledged by Wolf as his wife and son and he does his best to atone for the great wrong he had done against them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
