He drives the young man from his house in disgrace. Years later Kenton becomes desperately ill and his paternal love never having died, his longing to see his boy becomes unbearable. His physician feeling that it might save his patient's life were he to see his son again, determines upon desperate measures. He finds Wainwright, once a gentleman but now a vagrant, and asks him to pose as young Kenton. Wainwright consents and is accepted without question by the old man. Braced up by his new life of luxury he becomes a man and wins the love of a fair young girl. The sudden death of the physician removes the only witness of his identity. The real son shows up at last, and how Wainwright fights down his temptation but does not lose by it is most strongly told. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
