Ralph, the doctor’s half-brother, is caught in the act of stealing money from the doctor’s safe, of which he had full charge. He gambles it away, and again steals some of the doctor’s money. This time the doctor loses patience with him and orders him from the house. The doctor and his wife have forgotten of Ralph’s existence. Meantime he has gone from bad to worse and being sadly in need of money, again visits the doctor’s home. Finding Pearl alone, he compels her at the point of a revolver to promise to make the doctor give him $500. The doctor returns and overpowers Ralph. He has his wife phone the police. Ralph induces them to listen to his plea and brings in their mother’s name. They are touched and help him escape, and when the police arrive they have no one to arrest. Ralph promises to reform and the doctor, for his mother’s sake, resolves to give the erring youngster just one more chance. |
