A few days later her employer, John Cally, asks her to marry him and she consents. After the marriage Ellen desires to tell her husband of her convict brother's unfortunate situation, but is afraid. Sometime later Tom escapes from prison and seeks refuge in Ellen's unoccupied summer home. He telephones Ellen, who hastens to his assistance and supplies him with money and some of her husband's clothes. Believing that he will be temporarily safe, she advises Tom to stay in the house until all danger has passed. The next morning a newspaper article giving an account of Tom's escape affects Ellen and when Cally asks what disturbs her, she feigns illness. Cally returns home unexpectedly and discovers Ellen at the telephone, talking to her brother. With suspicions fully aroused he demands to know the name of the party at the other end of the line but she refuses to enlighten him. Cally then locks Ellen in her room and obtains the number from the telephone operator downstairs. He calls Tom, decoying him to the house with a statement that Ellen has been taken ill and wishes to see him. Tom rushes to the house and Ellen's cry, "He is my brother," stays the hand of the husband, who is about to shoot the unfortunate man. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
