When the story opens he is found in his shop plying the trade of violin maker. Dr. Lynn was the tool of fate: he was morally weak and when circumstantial evidence threatened to incriminate him he craftily shifted the evidence onto the son of his life-long friend's son, Michael. Dr. Lynn had attempted freedom with Michael's wife and then, to ease his conscience, had forced money upon her. Michael observed the action from a distance and misinterpreted his wife's motives. He went to Dr. Lynn's office; there were hot words and blows and in the confusion a violin neck which Michael carried in his pocket, was left in the doctor's office. Dr. Lynn had been attending Michael's old father in his last sickness. The old father died in a way that promised to compromise the good name of the doctor and so he shifted the blame, prompted perhaps by his enmity, upon Michael. He helps to accomplish this by use of the violin neck, which he leaves under the window of the old man covered with blood. This brings us up to the most heart-rending, pathetic situations of the play, the tearing away of the boy from the bedside of his young wife, who has just given birth to a child. Michael faces trial and is convicted on circumstantial evidence to life imprisonment. Ten years pass. Lynn is found in the mountains living the life of a hermit, suffering for his crime. He carries always in his pocket a document confessing the particulars of Michael's conviction. Michael escapes and is pursued by the guards. While hiding in the mountains he finds Lynn's hut and recognizes him by the name he sees on a suitcase. They grapple with each other. The guards approach and fire. The bullet finds it mark in Lynn. They find the confession in his pocket and Michael is liberated to return to his family. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
