We find her in the house of her uncle, who, with his son, have misappropriated the funds of the bank of which they are president and cashier. They possess a knowledge that Mary does not, namely, that her grandfather has left a fortune to her when she marries. This will save her uncle and his scapegrace son and they decide to marry her to the boy. There is a young secretary in the bank who accidentally overbears a conversation which indicates their misuse of the bank's funds but like Mary, he knows nothing of their plans to recoup their fortune. But when Mary scorns the young cashier and they find her on rather friendly terms with the young secretary they manufacture a forged check, charge him with the crime and dismiss him from the bank. This is too much for Mary and she undertakes to get evidence of the falseness of the charge. In so doing she learns of the other crime. The evidence is obtained by making a phonograph record from a telephone conversation between the father and son, and the scenes in which Mary gets this record are very exciting and intensely dramatic. Of course, in the end the uncle and his son are taken away to prison and Mary finds herself again face to face with the great world without a home or friends to care for her. This is the seventh story of "What Happened to Mary." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
