Detective Lindsey is called in, and after giving one of the maid servants the third degree, he finds that Robert Stanley, the fiancé of Marjorie Ross, the dead man's daughter, quarreled with him the day previous, when Robert asked for Marjorie's hand in marriage. With this circumstantial evidence in hand, Lindsey places the murder on Robert's head, and is about to arrest him when the old butler, who has brought Marjorie up since the death of her mother, confesses. The butler tells that he is the only one who knew of the lover's secret marriage, and after hearing of the quarrel between Robert and his employer, he went to Mr. Ross and pleaded for his sanction to their marriage. Ross, who had been suffering from heart failure, got so overwrought that his heart failed him and he dropped dead. During his fall he cut his head and on account of that cut the butler was afraid to disclose the cause of Ross' death, fearing that he would not be believed and blamed as the murderer. The detective believes him, and everything ends happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
