Aided by Kimball and McAllister, the man escapes from the penitentiary. Dr. Bell and Bess, daughter of a millionaire, are sweethearts. The surgeon is notified by the police of Selwyn's escape and informed that the man is likely to approach physicians in an effort to secure drugs. While out horsebacking, Bess is caught in a thundershower. A stranger comes to her assistance and offers her his coal. The two ride towards her home. Dr. Bell calls when the storm passes shortly afterwards. In the kind stranger, the physician is startled to discover the escaped convict. Later, because of Selwyn, Bess and her sweetheart quarrel. Selwyn discovers that Bess is an heiress and plans to make her his wife. Bell, perceiving that his sweetheart is fascinated by the drug fiend, warns the man to leave town. By a clever ruse, however, Kimball and McAllister make the doctor a prisoner. Selwyn seizes the opportunity to urge Bess to elope with him. The girl foolishly consents. While motoring to the minister's, an explosion wrecks their machine. Bess is uninjured, but Selwyn is rendered unconscious. The man is taken to a farmhouse nearby. Bell, meanwhile, has outwitted his captors and made his escape. He meets the farmer to whose home Selwyn has been taken and learns of the accident. While waiting for the doctor, Bess learns of Selwyn's terrible habit. The man becomes violent and is about to kill her when Bell and the farmer arrive. The two struggle with the crazed man. The exertion proves too much for the drug fiend's heart and he dies. Realizing how greatly she has wronged Bell, Bess begs for forgiveness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
