Synopsis

Heliotrope Harry Harlow finds his wife making cheatie with another man and sends him to hell. Before surrendering to the police, Harry leaves his infant daughter on the doorstep of a wealthy couple who take the child in and treat her as their own. Fifteen years pass. Harry's wife discovers the girl's whereabouts and goes to see Harry in prison, cruelly informing him of her intention to see the girl. Harry is fortuitously released on parole and obtains a position as butler in the house in which his daughter has been brought up. He forestalls two attempts by his wife to see the girl and finally provokes her into mortally harming him. She is convicted and sent to prison, and Harry dies happy in the knowledge that his daughter is safe from the evil influence of her mother.
