The Way of the Transgressor (1911)

Bill Bronson marries a western girl and takes her to an eastern city, where they make their home. Bill soon tires of the bonds of matrimony and begins to neglect the little woman who has given up all to share his lot. A child is born to them, but instead of softening Bill's nature, it seems only to irritate him, and he takes up with evil associates. Dissipation soon loses him his position and he sinks lower and lower until he is persuaded to become a thief in order to live without manual toil (a thing that he abhors). The complications that arise from now on are intensely interesting, holding the spectator spellbound until the climax is reached, in which Bill is removed from the path of those whose happiness he would blight.
