The widow's child, Agnes, he proposes to have sent to the state asylum, but is frightened from this course by a phantom of the widow. He rears the little girl in the house which is really hers, and which, to all except Agnes and Bob, Stone's son, a boy of a few years older than Agnes, has become "The House of Fear." Stone, living in constant horror of the phantom, soon grows old and breaks down. When Agnes is eighteen, Bob comes home from college, Agnes loves him, but of this he is unaware, regarding her with the indifferent affection of a brother. Soon after the boy's return, Stone dies, and, guided by the phantom, Bob discovers the wrong done by his father. He immediately arranges to make restitution and to go away, thinking that Agnes will wish never to see him again. He now realizes that he loves the girl. That the great wrong has been righted, the phantom that made the place "The House of Fear," exerts itself for the happiness of the lovers. Agnes is awakened in time. Bob does not go and the phantom departs forever from the old home. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
