Being pressed for funds, the Colonel is refused a loan on the hereditary estate, and is threatened with eviction. Zeno now decides upon a plan whereby his master may remain in the great house without his presence being discovered, and shows the Colonel a sliding panel in the dining room wall that leads to a small garret inside. The Dixons, wealthy social climbers, now purchase the place, but firmly believe the place is haunted when they find the table has been used for mysterious company during the night and catch sight of the sliding panel shutting behind old Zeno as he goes to his master. Therefore, they leave in fright and refuse to purchase the place, which is now bought by Dr. Trueman. One evening, as the doctor and his friends are chatting, they catch Zeno coming through the panel and force him to disclose the secret. Upon learning of the colonel's identity the doctor writes him a note saying the old estate is his as long as he lives and that his presence is desired that evening. Finding the old-fashioned costume of one of his French ancestors in a trunk, the colonel dons it and is presented to the gentlemen in the great dining room. However, the strain of proposing a toast to his king is too much for the aged man, and he dies. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
