Their daughter was loved by both parents, but her head had been turned by the attentions paid her by a foreign Count who had a wonderful title and an amazing array of creditors. The father hoped that his daughter would marry his junior partner, a young man with sterling qualities, and one the old merchant relied upon. The junior partner did love the girl, and when her engagement in the foreigner was announced he was brokenhearted. A year after the girl and her husband had gone abroad the father was forced to believe that all was not well with his daughter. He received numerous letters from her, but each and every one was an appeal for money, and he finally reached the conclusion that clever forgeries had been perpetrated in her name. Too old to undertake the trip abroad to investigate himself, he confided in his junior partner, who gladly accepted the mission. On arriving in the vicinity of her castle he learned many things that convinced him he should pursue his mission cautiously, so instead of going boldly to the Count and announcing who he was, he lurked about the place in disguise.in this way he was enabled to overhear the Count and a rascal of a physician lay a plot to send the American girl to an asylum as a lunatic. The doctor explained to the Count that it would be necessary for him to have a second physician to certify to the facts in the case, and left the castle to secure this second man. The junior partner promptly followed and waylaid him and so frightened the doctor that he consented to take the junior partner with him as the consulting physician. In the castle, by a clever trick the junior partner got the girl away from under the very eyes of her watchful husband. Unfortunately for them their auto broke down and the Count and his men overtook them. The fugitives sought refuge in a deserted hut, where for some time the junior partner, who was an expert revolver shot, kept them. Then the Count ordered the place burned, and his menials carried out his orders. The young couple were almost suffocated when the girl discovered a trapdoor leading to a secret passage, which had been built by smugglers, and through it they escaped. Arriving in America the young woman planned to secure an annulment of her marriage, but death carried off the wicked Count before the case could be taken to court. A very short time after she married the man who had always loved her. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
