An accident occurs at one of the mines of the rich Western Mines Development Company, and Lawrence is entrusted with the mission of securing the signature of the injured man. John Strand, to a document releasing the company from actions for damages. Despite the poor wife's appeal, John, in his sickness signs the document and, leaving one copy of the precious document with Mrs. Strand, Lawrence takes the other to the President, who is delighted at his success and appoints him attorney for the company. Lawrence advances rapidly, and John goes down correspondingly quickly. Driven to desperation, John resolves to take Lawrence's life and goes to his home at night to fulfill his intentions. He forces an entrance, and, while waiting for Lawrence to appear, he is faced by Mrs. Hulbert. She offers him money, which he refuses, and finally gets his tale from him. John details her husband's infamies and gives her a list of families Lawrence has helped to poverty and despair. Mrs. Hulbert is astounded and crushed and believes it all against her will. Lawrence enters and Mrs. Hulbert prevents John from killing him. She forces her husband to acknowledge the truth. She tells him her love is dead and that her future will be devoted to those whose lives Lawrence, has helped to make barren. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
