In Real Life (1914)

The editor of a well-known magazine informs John Carson that his manuscript lacks the necessary punch. Walter Jordon, a clerk in a broker's office, discovers that his sweetheart's mother has been defrauded, and by the firm he is working for. He pleads with the manager to return the money, but is refused. He appropriates it and dashes madly up the street and into Carson's apartment. He explains the situation to the author. The broker arrives at the apartment; Carson holds him off at the point of a revolver. It is then that the author discovers that it is his own mother who was defrauded. Things are finally straightened out and Carson discovers he has a great deal of material to embody in his story, which the editor later buys.
