To get rid of her influence over Wallace, Burton, Sr., discharges Madge. But the young man follows her and they are married. By so doing he separates himself from his father altogether. Some time later, while he is working as a mechanic, his wife is badly hurt in an accident, and he is told that she will be a cripple unless an expensive operation can be performed at once. Desperate, he determines to burglarize his father's house in order to get the needed money. While he is ransacking the library, two burglars break into the house. Wallace recalls his mother's words, "Thou shalt not steal," and he attacks the thieves. The noise arouses the father, who reaches the scene in time to see the burglars put to flight by his son. When he learns the truth, a reconciliation follows. The operation on Madge is performed the next day. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
