Calling on her one evening, Fred is about to propose, when his chum, Arthur, enters, and Miriam appears to slight Fred with her attentions to Arthur. Fred leaves and, in his room, contemplates ending his life. Falling asleep, he dreams of his ancestor, Rosny, who loves the fair Lady Madeline. Louis, young gallant, is also a suitor for Madeline's hand. Finding them together one morning, Rosny insults Louis, a duel is fought and Louis is slain. Seeking out the Duke, Madeline's father, Rosny demands her hand in marriage. Forced into the union with Rosny, whom she loathes, Lady Madeline dies of a broken heart, and the repentant Rosny is left to mourn her bier. Tossing in fitful sleep, Fred is suddenly awakened and has only time to hide the revolver when Arthur hands him a letter that has just been brought to the house. Tearing it open, Fred finds it is from Miriam, asking why he left so hurriedly and to be sure to come and see her next evening. Realizing the folly of his intended step, Fred warmly wrings his chum's hand and rejoices at his self-salvation. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
