Robert Thorne Forecloses (1915)

Violet Fitzhugh and her mother are distressed by the prospect of an immediate foreclosure of a mortgage on their home. The mortgage is held by a banking concern, which has just sent them a notice that unless the interest on the mortgage is paid at once, foreclosure proceedings will be instituted within ten days. Violet tries to comfort her mother by saying she thinks she can secure an extension. She drives to the city, and visits the office of the banking concern where she confers with one of the officials who tells her that there is no recourse. The interest must be paid at once. Doris finds the discarded uniform which her grandfather wore when he was killed in the Civil War. In one of the pockets is a letter, telling of a hidden treasure of money. She finds the treasure, but it is in Confederate bills. A thief attacks her and she is rescued by Robert Thorne, the president of the banking concern. Without knowing his identity, she tells him of her distress. It is a case of love at first sight, and the mortgage is hastily canceled by Cupid.
