A year later a financial panic wipes out Erskine's money and brings him down with a lingering illness. The doctor tells Mrs. Erskine that her husband must go South. The wife goes into Erskine's room where despite her attempt at concealment he draws from her the doctor's verdict. Their son Raymond goes to the desk and finds the policy and declares thankfully that they will be provided for after he is gone. Raymond goes to draw the policy money, but is refused. At last he succeeds in reaching the president's office. The president goes to Erskine's home, but says he cannot pay the policy until after the death. However, he gives them a substantial check, enough to take the sick man South. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
