Synopsis
Roy Schuyler, after dissipating his entire estate, is forced by his creditors to marry the wealthy Laura Reid. Ann, Laura's half sister, tries to warn her sister of Roy's motives, but is kidnapped by Roy and incarcerated in an asylum before she is able to do so. Roy then tries to force Laura to sign a document which would accord him control of her estate. When she refuses, Roy, with the aid of Dassori, a traitor from Italy, brings both Ann and Laura together. Ann dies and Laura, closely resembling her half sister, is placed in the asylum in her stead. Laura is finally saved when her cousin Marion bribes a nurse to allow her to escape and Dassori, with moments to live, confesses his part in the crime, thus establishing Laura's true identity. Justice is then served when Roy is driven to his death by his tortured conscience.
