Coals of Fire (1915)

John Vincent, a man of wealth, is obsessed with love and ambition for his son Ben. He neglects his daughter Mary, and after Mrs. Vincent's death the girl is lovely until she marries Henry Love. Later, Vincent realizes his hopes for Ben when he makes him junior partner in the firm. On an inspection tour of the factory, however, Ben is stabbed and killed by fanatical employee Mad John. Mary takes her little boy and girl and rushes home to comfort her grief-crazed father. He has a stroke and loses his memory, and he thinks that Mary's son is little Ben. He lives over the past with his grandson, whom Mary allows to comfort him to the end.
