When called by his mother's last illness, Robert and his wife Mary enter his father's home, and the young man is amazed to see another woman in the arms of his father. This fact, together with the sudden death of his beloved mother causes, Robert to become prostrated. As he raves, his father urges the physician to give him morphine and this is done. A year has passed, and Mary Norton, the wife of Robert, is happy in the anticipation of approaching motherhood. Her husband, in the meantime, comes to the awful realization that he is bound with the shackles of the morphine habit. As time goes on, he sacrifices wife home, happiness, everything, for the insidious drug. Francis Norton has married the woman for whom he had an infatuation. However, he, too, realizes the wages of sin when he finds this woman in the arms of another man. Morphine has exacted an awful toll, causing a childless wife to become poverty stricken and a once-loving husband to become a wanderer. One night a vision of what might have been comes to Robert Norton as he sleeps under the influence of dope. With one mighty effort, he severs habit's cable and becomes a man again. With his wife, again comes happiness, while the father, the cause of his downfall, sinks into the dregs. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
