Right Shall Prevail (1912)
Bob and George Morton go to the theater where the famous dancer Irene is performing. Both men become infatuated with the dancer, and when the manager of the theater offers to introduce them to her they gladly welcome the opportunity. An introduction is effected, and after the theater a supper is suggested and agreed upon. While at the restaurant George, who has little respect for women of the stage, offers an insult to the girl, which she resents. Bob upbraids his brother for his action, and escorts Irene home. In the course of a few weeks Bob and Irene learn of their love for each other and decide to get married. Bob informs his father of his intention to marry the dancer. His father objects to the marriage, being influenced by George and Bob's oldest sister. Bob leaves his father's house, declaring that he shall never return until they welcome Irene as his wife. After several years George is the victim of the drug habit. The father begins to realize that he has allowed the best boy to go away. Bob, after his marriage, had experienced some misfortunes, one being that Irene was taken sick and compelled to leave the stage. Bob, one day, while returning home from work, chances to meet his father, who explains to him that he has altered his opinion. After learning that Bob's wife is sick, he requests Bob to take him to see her. This visit proves to be the means of uniting father and son. Mr. Morton gives a reception in honor of his son and daughter-in-law. The sister changes her attitude toward Irene and welcomes her into the household, but George still retains his same opinion, and on the evening of the reception, while under the influence of the drug, becomes obnoxious and offers an insult to Irene. Bob defends his wife against his brother, who, being aroused to hatred toward his brother and wife, concocts a scheme to bring disgrace on them both. He enters his sister's room, takes her jewels and places them in Irene's cloak. Later the jewels are found in Irene's possession. The girl, unable to bear the accusation, loses all control of herself and runs from the house. Her absence is discovered and Bob goes in search of her and finds her exhausted. George realizes how dastardly he has been and seeks to drown his conscience in the drug, which proves too much for his weakened heart and he collapses. After Bob has carried Irene home in his arms he receives the welcome news that George has confessed to having placed the jewels in the cloak to place the blame on Irene. Irene finally recovers from the effects of the cold weather and exposure which she submitted herself to, and is taken into the Morton family.
