The stern old gentleman refuses to give her money for any purpose other than to educate her son. From this allowance Mrs. Steele saves a little for a rainy day. The rainy day arrives. Steele returns home late one night and his patient wife is waiting for him. He confides to her that his creditors have driven him to the wall. Mrs. Steele offers to secure the necessary money from her savings in a strong box which she keeps beneath her father's safe. Steele's heart is touched by this and he takes an oath to quit gambling forever. Her father, awakened by Mrs. Steele passing through his room, secures his revolver. In the darkness he sees a figure crouched near the safe and he fires. There are troublous times in the Steele household until Mrs. Steele is pronounced out of danger. When she is well again she keeps her promise to pay Steele's present debts, and Steele keeps his promise. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
