As the years go on, Jack and Beth fall in love and marriage is contemplated. However, Mr. Alden prefers the bank Vice president, Wilkens, and tries to discourage Jack. Another Teller, Harris, secretly embezzles money and frames Jack, who is put on trial. Though he's found innocent, he's still discharged. Wrongly convinced that Beth has lost interest in him, he leaves town, only to get into another fiery accident. At the hospital, a doctor experimenting in plastic surgery fixes Jack up perfectly. Jack sees his opportunity for revenge on the town that treated him so badly by returning, unrecognizable in his new face. Written by WesternOne1 See less
