The Vardels, neighbors, adopt the girl, Mildred, and shortly afterward move to another village, where Vardel runs a mill with his son, Conrad, who is in love with Mildred. Cyril, the son, remains with his father and turns out to be a gambler and drunkard. When Vardel writes for an extension of time on his note, Spiegel recalls the girl and determines to bring her back with him. He goes to visit the Vardels with Cyril and offers Mildred every luxury if she will return to him, but she refuses. Angered, he goes to the mill to collect the money. Unknowingly, Vardel drops a piece of money, which Spiegel hides to return for it that night. Cyril knowing that his father carries his money with him, and being out of funds, follows Spiegel to the mill, where they struggle, and Spiegel falls, striking his head. Cyril, thinking him dead, takes the money and throws him into the basin, where he is discovered the next morning by Vardel. after he has started the wheel. The rescued Spiegel regains consciousness long enough to bequeath his wealth to Mildred. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
