Saints and Sinners (1915)
So devoted to his books that he gradually grows away from his wife, Margaret, and daughter, Eileen, Ashley is suddenly brought to realize this by their friendship for Jack Arden, a widower with one child. Margaret's sister, Dora, and Ross, her husband, come on for a visit, and Dora, who is weak and frivolous, starts a flirtation with Jack Arden. The affair grows serious and Margaret worries greatly. She attempts to help her sister escape from the attentions of Arden, which have now become annoying, and gets herself into trouble. Her husband, in his present state of mind, misunderstands the situation, and when he sees Arden embrace Margaret by mistake shoots and kills him. Ashley then denounces his wife, despite her frantic explanations, and turns her out of the house, without even permitting her to say goodbye to their child. Fifteen years later, Ashley is still unrelenting, and his innocent wife is in a convent, while Eileen is the only ray of sunshine in Ashley's gloomy home. Eileen, now a young lady, falls in love with young Robert Arden, the image of his dead father, but Ashley sternly separates the young couple without a word of explanation. Ashley is stricken with apoplexy and dies. Robert, determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, finds letters which give him some light on the subject. Meanwhile, Dora Ross, who had gone to India, returns and in a powerfully dramatic manner tells the whole story. She goes with Robert to the convent, where Eileen's mother is found, and complete explanations follow. Margaret forgives Dora and Robert marries Eileen, thus providing a happy termination all around.
