Parker gives the judge his word to live on the square. A few weeks later, the judge, entering his home late one evening, hears his wife, Viola, earnestly pleading with Paul Armstrong, a young clubman, in the drawing room. He recalls how of late he had been forced, by absorption in his work, to neglect her. Doubtless, this is the outcome. The blow stuns him. Meanwhile. Parker, who has not kept to his promise, climbs up the fire-escape, not knowing that the house he had selected to rob is the home of the judge who pardoned him. On discovering the judge within, he beats a hasty retreat. Parker is in the act of getting away, when he is grabbed by a policeman. A struggle ensues. Parker shoots the officer and runs. By this time Viola has persuaded her visitor to leave the house by the fire escape. He is seen and arrested for the murder of the policeman. At the trial, the jury declare Armstrong guilty. Judge Landsey is called upon to pronounce the sentence. He knows the man is innocent, but to establish this means involving his wife's reputation. The judge is under a tremendous strain. Viola discovers the dilemma, and begs her husband to substantiate the truth. She really is innocent, and so she has no fear of being misunderstood, she says. Her husband, and his honor, are dearer to her than life. At the last moment Parker comes forward and confesses. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
