Unfaithful to His Trust (1915)
Unfaithful to his trust, Joynes, cashier of the Baldwin Bank, defrauds the institution of a large sum of money. When the crash comes, Joynes makes it appear that Burbank, the elderly president, had known the condition of affairs. The two men are indicted and placed on trial. Eugenia, Burbank's daughter, is engaged to Floyd, the prosecuting attorney. Although he knows it will cost him his sweetheart, Floyd performs his duty. As the trial progresses, it becomes apparent that Burbank has been used as a tool by the real scoundrel. He is released on suspended sentence, while Joynes receives ten years. His fortune wiped out in the crash, Burbank and Eugenia leave for the south. They make their home in a lodge at the edge of a forest. His heart torn by the loss of his sweetheart, Floyd seeks forgetfulness in work. This brings about his breakdown. Floyd's physician orders him south for a rest. The doctor gives his patient the address of a hunting lodge. Ignorant of the fact that it is now occupied by Eugenia and her father, Floyd promises to board at that cottage. Eugenia learns of Floyd's coming. The girl contrives to keep the invalid from meeting either her father or herself. As the days pass, Floyd is mystified at his inability to meet the girl who he knows lives in the same cottage. Later, while out hunting, Eugenia shoots at what she thinks is a deer, and finds that her bullet has hit Floyd. Her frantic cries bring assistance and the unconscious man is carried to the house. It is discovered that the wound is superficial. When Floyd regains consciousness he finds that the bullet which laid him low had also leveled the obstacles that prevented his marriage to Eugenia.
