An argument ensues, overheard by Phillips family. Bentley makes threats. A burglar enters, and in the struggle fires a shot that kills Phillips. He escapes. Bentley is accused, placed upon trial and sentenced to life imprisonment. His daughter, Pearl, is sent to a convent. Years later, Bentley makes his escape and seeks shelter in the convent where Pearl is, and induces a nun to protect him. When the guards question her she denies having seen the escaping man. Later, Bentley secures work and lives straight. Roger Phillips' son, now grown, by chance meets Pearl and their friendship soon ripens into love. He writes his mother to visit him and meet the girl. In the meantime, Bentley never suspects that his daughter's fiancé is the son of the man he was accused of killing. Mrs. Phillips arrives, faces Bentley, accuses him, and insists upon his arrest. Things look black for the man when the nun enters with a signed confession from the burglar. Dying, he had made it previously in her presence. Mrs. Phillips, regretting the wrong done an innocent man, consents to the marriage of their children. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
