When the boy grows old enough to realize a few things, he covets his father's wealth, and finally murders him. With the coveted gold he buys his wife. Haunted by the specter of Morris, Sr., young Morris soon takes his life. On his dying bed he confides to Dr. Lane that his little son no doubt will inherit his father's and grandfather's tendencies, but the doctor allows his silence to be bought with a sum of money. Fifteen years later, the doctor's daughter Marion falls in love with Frank Morris, the third generation. Her father's remonstrances only precipitate an elopement. The young people live happily together until Morris' disease-laden mind breaks forth into crime. The doctor, called to his daughter's side, finds her dead, and his son-in-law is taken away a raving maniac. Dr. Lane realizes that he has paid the price for consenting to be bribed into silence years before. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
