Out of the Depths (1914)
Albert Rogers, president of the National Bank of California, where John Harvey is employed as paying teller, has a winsome young daughter, Vera, who is loved by John and who reciprocates the young bank clerk's affection. The father is disposed to look with favor upon this state of affairs, until he sees John at the club one night gambling in the card room and drinking a little more than is good for him. Mr. Rogers takes John to task the next day for his apparent wildness, and as John seems penitent and promises he will never repeat the offense, the old banker restores him to favor, though naturally there is a lingering doubt in his mind and a slight distrust of the boy. Tom Carr, the faithful old watchman, who makes his home with his half-witted widowed daughter, Clara, idolizes his little grandchild, Allie, of whom John is also very fond. At a meeting of the bank's directors, it is decided that a younger man would be better suited for the position of watchman, and Tom is accordingly dismissed. John is sent with $1,000 in cash to pay a note and while on this errand comes across old Carr, who tells him that Allie is ill and that since his discharge poverty has gotten them in its grasp. John determines to call in to see the little girl and offer what aid he might. Arriving at his destination, after the visit to Allie, John is horror stricken to discover that his $1,000 has disappeared. He knows that he will be suspected of the theft, and helpless to offer any explanation, he determines to go away. He enlists in the navy and then follows a sequence of events, exciting, interesting and novel, which result in the unveiling of the mystery, the vindication of John and a happy reunion of the sweethearts.
