The lover, disgusted by the other's weakness, reprimands him. Hot words follow, and in the heat of passion the drunkard strikes the young man down. His daughter is persuaded by her lover to try a desperate remedy, whereby the drunkard may be cured. She agrees, and fosters in her father's mind the delusion that he is a murderer. In despair, after a sleepless night, he goes to a hotel, whence he sends the girl a note telling her that she must hasten if she desires to see him alive. Her lover gets the note and hastens to the hotel, arriving before her. He bursts into the room as the would-be suicide places a pistol to his head. The shock of seeing his victim's ghost, as he believes, sobers the drunkard. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
