This is an opportunity for the wicked uncle and he hopes the children may die. They thrive daily and he, annoyed by creditors and impending obligations, is at his wit's end. One day he thinks of a swashbuckling freelance named Walter, and believes he sees in him a man fit for any desperate deed, so he sends for Walter and another ruffian, and employs them to kill the children. Walter, who is good at heart, would have refused to aid him, but in sympathy for the little ones, he pretends to obey the uncle. In fact, his motive is to get the babes away from the unprincipled relative. So the two ruffians journey forth with the unsuspecting innocents. A dark wood is reached and the other ruffian suggests that it is a proper place for the foul deed. Of course good Walter objects, and instantly swords are out and a duel commences. Walter triumphs and astounds the uncle by appearing before him with the unharmed children. The unexpected sight causes him to swoon and he is borne to bed, where he is terrified by visions of his dead brother. The shock kills him and the children assume charge of the castle where Walter lives as a second father. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
