A Question of Right or Wrong (1915)
Immediately after entering her new home, bride is confronted by supposed dead lover and learns she has been tricked. Grace, when confronted with apparent proof of her lover, Paul Mathew's death, consents to marry Jason Caldner, a man she instinctively dislikes, to save her father from financial ruin. The whole affair was faked up, and immediately upon entering her new home, Grace and her husband are confronted by Paul, alive and well. He hands her a written confession of her dying father which explains the whole plot and denounces Caldner bitterly. Later, Mathews asks her to meet him in the garden in a note which Caldner sees and secretly reads. In a terrible rage, Caldner plots with Turner, an escaped convict, whom Bayton, a detective, is shadowing, to kill Paul. While arguing the matter, Caldner and Turner get to quarreling over the money which the convict is to receive, and finally, Turner hits Caldner over the head and seriously injures him. Mathews comes upon the scene, and when the servants appear, Caldner, on recovering his senses, accuses him of striking him. Meanwhile, Bayton, waiting outside, has witnessed Turner's escape and judging from the fellow's agitation that something is wrong, follows and arrests the crook. He brings Turner back to Caldner's home and there everything is explained. Caldner, overcome by conflicting emotions and the shock of his injury, staggers back, and as Grace goes to his assistance, he drops dead, pulling off Grace's wedding ring from her finger as he falls. Gazing upon the body of the man who had caused them so much suffering, Mathews and Grace silently shake hands in their realization of future happiness which is deservedly theirs.
