The power of her mind cures a child's illness and finds a lost purse; the neighbors are impressed, among them Fannie. Later, Fannie's husband Ben loses his job in the Bell Mills, has a tilt with one of the owners Earle, draws a gun, and his thrown out, leaving the gun behind, which is pocketed by another owner, Dailey. Fannie tries to instill faith in him, but the saloon seems to bring him more cheer. Earle, one of the owners, is blackmailed by street girl Bird, who has discovered his relations with wayward girl Daisy. His resources drained, Earle tries to rob the office safe; Dailey discovers him, kills him with Ben's gun, and escapes undiscovered to his hotel. Ben, drunk,takes the wrong road home and is caught at the mills as Earle's murder is discovered. Circumstantial evidence condemns him and he is sentenced to be hanged. Fannie appeals to Mrs. Trill and together they visit Ben's young lawyer. He scoffs at the idea of psychic phenomena as evidence. Mrs. Trill, in directing him to the deathbed of his sister whom Dailey ruined, convinces him of her power and sets out to convict Dailey. Visions of the hangman's noose, helped along by mental suggestion, annoy the murderer and at last, when Mrs. Trill tells of her vision in which she sees Dailey committing the crime, the guilty man convicts himself. The final scene shows Ben free, believing at last that "Faith is victory." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
