She suspects her step-father, Wainwright. A glance at her mother's will, which she has obtained from her lawyer and which is made out in Wainwright's favor, increases her suspicions and she confides them to her friend Lewis Courtland. He tells her to be careful about accusation and undertakes the investigation. Under cover of darkness, one night, he meets Adene on the front porch of the house of mystery and goes to her room while she silently transfers herself to another room. He falls asleep and is awakened with the sense of suffocation. Gas is escaping through the fireplace. It is carbon monoxide. Courtland steals downstairs and discovers Wainwright in the act of making it. He turns him over to the police. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
