Dorothy (1915)
Dorothy Manners, a school girl, falls in love with Tom Marley, son of a well-to-do cotton goods manufacturer, and he returns her affection. Marley, Sr., is negotiating with Manners for his valuable invention for the production of manufactured cotton goods. Just as Manners is about to sign an agreement with Marley, he drops dead of heart failure. Marley forges the dead man's signature, and, placing the body in a life-like position, obtains the signatures of two witnesses. Marley then carries the dead man to a lonely spot and leaves him. The body is found and unidentified, so Marley feels safe. Five years later Marley has tripled his fortune through the invention and taken his son into partnership. Dorothy finds in her father's desk a letter which starts a train of clues leading directly to Marley. She denounces him and Marley dies from a stroke of apoplexy while Tom, after making restitution, marries Dorothy.
