Fear of Ted Lyons, Elsie's uncle, and only relative, makes Gregory uneasy when the child is born, and after a year he steals the baby and leaves the mountains. Years after he is a well-known lawyer of a large city, a respected man, who has raised his daughter with every advantage. At a social affair he meets Elsie Lyons, now an adventuress. Finding that he has a daughter, the woman tricks the girl into a meeting with one of the young idlers of her set and attempts to ruin her as she was outraged by the girl's father. Gregory with the police rescues the girl and informs the woman that the child is her own daughter. The shock of the realization is so great that the adventuress lives but a few moments. The girl, unaware of the situation, and her father live on as before. Only the woman paid. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
