Years late—-, when his daughter has grown to womanhood and is about to be married, ho ,learns that his wife has threatened io blackmail the girl. Through years of good behaviour in prison, he succeeds in getting a parole, ami manages to change places with the butler in his daughter’s household, so he can be near her and protect her from her desperate mother, When husband and wife meet again, one conies to threaten a young girl’s happiness, the other to safeguard it, the result is an explosion that makes for one of the most dramatic climaxes seen in pictures in many months.
