The Regeneration of Margaret (1916)

Shortly after the death of her husband Mrs. Chanler's daughter is born. She is defective and when Dr. Ash calls in the eminent surgeon, Dr. Belknap, that expert, persuades the mother there are enough defectives and leaves the baby to die. Dr. Ash believes he can save her, however, and operates successfully. As the child was believed dead he takes her into his own home where she grows up with his son, William. She becomes a nurse and Dr. Belknap, now the husband of her mother, and who is stricken with paralysis, is her patient. Knowing he once left her to die she hands him a pistol and taunts him, as a defective, to kill himself. Young Ash wrests the revolver from him and is shot. When she learns the identity of her mother the girl loses her bitterness and softens toward them all. Young Ash, convalescent, is delighted to learn she is not his sister and that they can marry.
