Bob tires of her after a bit. In the meantime, Dick has taken up the practice of medicine and becomes a celebrated specialist in heart troubles. He meets the wretched Nell. He leads her to his house, not knowing who she is, makes a hasty diagnosis of her condition and recognizes her. It is too late, however, to save her life and she dies of a broken heart, Dick is more bitter against Carter than ever and the day of reckoning comes in a very peculiar manner. Carter is stricken with heart trouble and Dr. Richard Adams is recommended as a specialist of the heart. Carter calls upon him. Dick knows him at once, and gives him an examination. He tells him that he will give him a still more thorough test. He takes him into another room, seats him in a chair, at a table on which is a photograph of Nell Chandler, and Dick leaves the room for a few minutes. Carter sees Nell's picture, his conscience asserts itself and he becomes greatly agitated, is seized with an attack of heart failure and drops to the floor, dead. Dick hears the fall and re-enters the room, gazes meditatively upon the dead man and repeats to himself: "The wages of sin is death!" Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
