The Tie That Binds (1914)

Biff Hogan, a tough, wins Mollie McIntyre because he demonstrates his athletic superiority over Larry McGuire, a hard-working man. After they marry, Hogan gets into bad company, breaks into a factory with two comrades, and after a hand-to-hand fight with the watchman, he is arrested and sent to prison. Meanwhile, his wife obtains a divorce and marries McGuire. Upon his release, Hogan tries to see his child, but McGuire forbids it, so Hogan decides to take McGuire's life. He heads to McGuire's, prepares to shoot him, and nearly claims the life of his own child, who is sitting in an armchair wearing McGuire's hat. The shock makes Hogan resolve to live a better life.
