Fate's Protecting Arm (1915)
Breaking into a house, Dick Foster and his companion Ann Markham overpower the old couple and bind and gag them. The wife has given the alarm, however, and the police arrive. The robbers pass themselves off as the householders, regret that it was a false alarm, and get away with the spoils. Through the newspapers Ann learns that the old man is a preacher. Revolting from her past life, she leaves Dick and gets a post as governess to the daughter of widower Robert Hall. Dick meets her in the park and she gives him a fictitious address. He follows her home and sends her a note demanding admittance to the house. She has already made up her mind to leave, and is stealing away when from the library comes a familiar sound. Dick has broken into the house. Ann switches on the light, there is a struggle, and she knocks him down with a heavy vase. Recovering, he lunges at her; his revolver, which she has seized, goes off, and Dick falls. Mr. Hall comes in and Ann learns that she will never need to go away.
