Morgan reels out swearing to be revenged on Williams. Returning to his home he broods over his discharge, finally secures his revolver and rushes out to kill Williams in spite of the frantic pleading of his wife and daughter. Gaining admittance to Williams' mansion, Morgan confronts him in the library in a towering rage, but is restrained from violence by Williams, who cautions him to think of his family. With the promise of work if he swears off drinking, Morgan leaves. A moment later, Williams seriously wounds himself with a revolver he is cleaning. He is found unconscious, the revolver beside him, and Morgan is instantly suspected of the shooting. Morgan is arrested at his home, brought to Williams' bedside, where matters are finally straightened out through Morgan's own revolver which is produced and shown to have not been discharged, and Williams' statement of how he accidentally shot himself. A few months later, Tom signs the pledge and is reinstated in a good position by Williams. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
