And he orders his attorney, Jason Williams, to draw up a bill for the legislature authorizing the construction of the project. But Williams, who loves Alice, Marvin's daughter, refuses to be a party to the scheme and informs his employer that he does not propose to aid him in breaking the laws of the State. Furious, Marvin discharges him, and when Alice declares her determination to help her sweetheart, she is ordered from the house. The bill is rushed through the legislature by Marvin's tools, and signed by a corrupt governor. The passage of this bill causes a tremendous sensation and the people of Fenwood appeal to Williams to act as their attorney and save their homes. Rushing to the capital. Williams secures an injunction from the Supreme Court halting Marvin's men just as they are in the act of evicting the Fenwood citizens from their homes. When the injunction is made permanent, the people are wild with joy, and in their gratitude announce their determination to make Williams their next member of Congress. Balked at every turn, Marvin finally acknowledges his defeat and becomes reconciled to Williams and Alice, giving them his blessing. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
