Circumstantial evidence ...See moreThe murderer of Craig MacDonald, a wealthy bachelor, is discovered by Jack Wright, a sculptor, some months after the police have arrested and the State has sentenced to death his chum, Malcolm, Craig's nephew. Circumstantial evidence pointed strongly to Malcolm. He was known to have been in urgent need of money and to have quarreled with his uncle about his debts the night of the murder, and to have used threatening language; to have been much disturbed by the announcement the same evening at a house party given by Craig, of the latter's engagement to Geraldine, a society girl, since the marriage would mean not only a new interest for his uncle but the legal invalidating of the latter's will which made Malcolm his heir, and lastly, because he was found beside his dead uncle's body with the knife in his hand. Geraldine is in reality an adventuress in league with St. Clair. The pair are in imminent danger of arrest unless they can raise a large sum of money immediately to cover a "phony" check they have passed. Geraldine has seen a large package of bills in Craig's safe and has taken advantage of her stay in his house during the party to attempt to steal the money, and being discovered, she accidentally kills Craig while trying to escape without recognition. Inadvertently she left a thumb print behind her and Wright ingeniously trapped her into making another one with her subsequent confession. Malcolm is brought from the shadow of death into the sunlight and to his waiting sweetheart. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
