But though he had a good heart he succumbs to the desire for liquor. The picture opens with Jeanne brooding over her past life as the drunken Tom comes home. Time goes on and a baby boy arrives at the Davis home. Tom comes home dead drunk and cannot understand the sight he sees before him. He goes out to clear his befuddled brain and Fate leads him toward the docks. It happens that the Nancy Ann is delayed from departing on her trip to parts unknown through a shortage in the crew. In order to make up his crew, the mate resorted to the time-honored system of shanghaing, and was, with an aide, waiting on the dock as Tom Davis wandered out of a saloon. Davis gazed at the water in a dim uncertain way. An officer wandering by and seeing his melancholy attitude and fearful that he would commit or was contemplating suicide ordered him to move on. Davis reluctantly did so, but came back after the officer was gone. The mate and his man, seeing their chance, attacked Davis and in the fight that ensued Davis's coat was torn from his back and his hat cast on the water below. The mate and his companion succeeded in overpowering Davis and casting him unconscious into a waiting dory, pulled for the ship. Soon after the Nancy Ann put out for the open sea. Lestrade, a civil engineer working on the docks, discovered the hat and coat and, suspecting a suicide, called the officer. The officer remembered the incident and so it came to pass that the wife, Jeanne, was informed of her husband's death. Lestrade saw the beauty and the true side of the woman and starts her on the new path of life. He loved her, cared for her, and finally married her, taking the baby boy to live with them. They were happy, so happy, when one night Davis came back. But only Jeanne and the baby were there. She told him the story of his supposed death and he saw their happiness; he brought the baby to him for a moment, then was forced to release it and conceal himself through the returning of Lestrade. He then saw the real happiness of the woman and the future of his boy. Lestrade left the room and Davis came out. He bade the wife good-bye and then after kissing the boy good-bye back, back to "The Valley of Silent Men." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
