At the factory which he owns Garry is informed that the elevator is unsafe and is liable to fall unless new beams are placed to support the wheels and cables. Having no money, Garry notifies Justice and the latter comes to inspect the factory before he makes a loan. During his trip through the building Justice falls down a stair when the railing gives way and is badly hurt. Arnold Becker, a student in his last year at medical college, is passing. He accompanies Justice home. Later a friendship springs up between him and Elaine. Justice partially recovers and sends Garry several thousand dollars to make repairs at the factory. About this time Justice receives word that wheat has slumped and left him bankrupt. The shock kills him. Elaine and Becker become engaged. His savings are running low and he plans to marry Elaine for her money to make his term at college easier. The day that they are married, Nash, the family lawyer, finds that Justice died insolvent. When Elaine and Becker return from the church wedding, Nash is waiting and tells them the news. Becker is disappointed, but conceals it as best he can, and he and Elaine move to a small apartment. Time passes. Their funds run so low that Becker is unable to pay his tuition at the college. Elaine secretly secures work in the shirt factory, not even Garry knowing that she is working there. At night she barely gets home before Becker does and he upbraids her for not having the meal ready. Becker begins paying attention to Leona Page, a friend of Elaine's whom he met at the wedding. Leona, in love with him, urges him to leave Elaine and come with her. Finally Becker decides upon this course. A terrific fire has broken out in the factory. Elaine assists in quelling the panic, but in spite of this numbers of girls are injured and burned in jumping from the windows. Elaine is rescued, but is also badly injured. Garry, in trying to save Elaine, meets death when he attempts to slide down hand over hand on the elevator cable. The beams break under the fire and strain and he is crushed under their weight at the bottom of the shaft. Elaine begs to be taken home, and as Becker is packing to leave she is carried in by the ambulance attendants. During all this time. Becker has had no suspicion that Elaine was working. Now with almost her last strength, she tells him of the money that she has saved to pay his tuition in order that he may be eligible to take the examination to be admitted to practice. Becker, astounded, finds the money and learns that she has been working at the shirt factory. Her recovery is assured and they are united again. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
