He lives with his ward, Dora, and his son, John, in a small village. John, a lad of high spirit, frets under the constraint exercised by his father and longs to break away. Dick Harris, a young sportsman from the city, arrives in the village and acquaints John with the temptations of wine and cards. The next morning he is discovered by his father who orders him out of the house. He leaves, promising Dora he will send for her as soon as he finds work in the city. Months pass and no word is heard from John. Dora is afraid her condition will be discovered, and soon after it is. The deacon, not knowing it is his son who did the wrong, orders her out of the house. Five years elapse and we see John in a saloon brawl. We then see Dora, ill and her little boy playing beside her. Going to his mother's bedside and getting no reply to his childish inquiries, he goes in search of aid. The child walks in front of an automobile and John saves him. They enter the machine and are driven back to the address given by the child. There a recognition follows and Dora and John are married. Dick, who is the owner of the automobile that ran down the child, goes back to the country and tells the deacon of his narrow-mindedness. He is more than sorry for his cruelty and is forgiven by Dora and John. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
