Her husband, she knows, would never forgive her and she has been borrowing the money from John Graham, a friend of the family, whose regard for the daughter, Eunice, has been his reason for violating his usual business caution and lending money without security. The debt has reached $5,000 and Graham, now sure of his position, demands the return of the money of Eunice's hand. He knows very well that Mrs. Vaughn has lost her margins and that she will do her utmost to persuade her daughter to the marriage, though Eunice loves a young lawyer. To save her mother she assents to the marriage, but life is even more unpleasant than she had feared, for Graham is a miser at heart, and he is moved to a transport of rage at the sight of the new dress and hat that are Eunice's first purchases. To prevent a recurrence of the extravagance he takes the money from her pocketbook and is putting it in the safe when he hears a sound. Not knowing that it is Eunice, leaving his home to return to her parents, he supposes it to be a burglar, and fearful lest his precious hoard be stolen, he catches up a revolver, prepared to fight for his possessions. The revolver is knocked from the desk and is discharged. The noise alarms the household and when the door is broken in Graham is found dead. The interest is held tense to the last picture and the climax is as expected as it is appreciated. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
