Ellen, "The Pride of the Valley," brings a letter for Samuel Woodworth. It calls him away to fame and fortune within the heart of the great city. Sam rejoices; Ellen weeps. In Boston, Sam drifts downward with fast companions. He neglects to write to his home and mother. A year elapses and Ellen goes to the city, in search of her absent lover. She is present, unknown to the participants, at a game of cards, and sees Sam gambling with Big Bill and Dandy Dick. Sam becomes intoxicated. He accuses Bill of cheating. Sam, under the influence of liquor, draws a pistol. Bill gets possession of the weapon. Dick interferes to protect the life of his friend, Sam, and is shot dead by the now infuriated Bill. When the big gambler realizes what he has done, he boldly calls in witnesses and places the blame upon the drunken shoulders of the almost insensible Sam. In court Sam is convicted of the crime, but Ellen comes to the rescue, reveals what she saw unknown to the others, and saves her lover from the gallows and disgrace. They return to the old farm and the neglected mother, and Sam once more drinks from "The Old Oaken Bucket." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
