He receives a letter from his nephew, a wild young fellow, stating that he is returning to his uncle, empty in pocket. Shortly afterwards, Ralph Forbes, the scapegrace nephew, arrives and falls violently in love with Edna. She has given her heart to Jack Hall, Grayson's secretary. Ralph's bold advances are met coldly by the girl. Seeing the way things are going, the old chemist warns his nephew that unless he leads a better life he will cut him off without a penny. Fearing that the threat of his uncle will be made good, the evil-minded nephew decides to prevent it. Awaiting for an opportunity his criminal mind concocts a scheme whereby he will have his uncle die mysteriously. Shortly before his death, the chemist makes his will in favor of Edna, cutting off his nephew with a dollar. Foxhall Keene, a noted detective, is summoned to investigate the mystery. By wonderful powers of deduction Keene fastens the suspicion upon the nephew. Meanwhile, Ralph, while searching his uncle's possessions for his will, finds money enough for his flight and is almost to make his escape when the detective accuses him. In the presence of the lawyer, the chemist and Jack, Keene forces from the unfortunate Ralph a confession. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
