Finally, when she can bear it no longer, Sylvia decides to leave her husband. While Robert is out with some friends of his she leaves the house, supposedly never to return again. Robert and his friends come across a pretty Gypsy girl on a country road. While the girl is struggling to free herself from Robert's embraces, she falls and lies stunned. Her cries for help are heard by her companions. They come to her assistance, but before they reach her, Robert runs away and hides among the trees. Joe, Robert's old colored servant, who has followed him to induce him to return home to his wife, comes across the Gypsy girl just as Robert is fleeing. The girl's companions see Joe, and thinking him guilty of mistreating Carida, give him a beating, leaving him for dead. Robert, who has watched his old servant taking the punishment that rightfully belonged to the master, thinks that Joe is dead. He runs away like a craven and hides in his home. He then finds his wife's note telling him that she is leaving him. Heartbroken, he sees what a beast he has been. Summoning up what little courage he still has left, he swears never to touch another drop of liquor. Old Joe recovers and returns to Robert's house. Sylvia also returns and the reformation of Robert is complete. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
