They are about to leave India when their Hindoo servant Sukim,proposes that they go with him to the Hill Country, where a festival to one of the Hindoo gods is being held. At this feast, all the natives contribute money. Under Sukim's guidance, Randall and Lowell hide in the temple, and when the high priest is alone counting over the offering, they strike him insensible and steal the money. From the god's forehead, Randall steals a costly jewel which the Hindoo people consider sacred. Sukim tries to persuade him against the theft, warning him that a curse will follow him. The priest recovers, calls his two assistants, and they swear to recover the jewel and be avenged. Randall, with his colleagues, escapes to England, prospers, and is now a land proprietor. He seeks in marriage the hand of Grace, the daughter of Lord Leverton, an impoverished peer. He forces her to accept Randall, although she is already engaged to young Greyson, whom she loves. On the wedding day, the Hindoo avengers, who have tracked Randall with unrelenting determination and hatred, hover about the scene. That night they follow him to his country house where he is to spend his honeymoon. Unseen, they stab him to death. Grace, suddenly left a widow, is quite ready to accept Greyson and fulfill her betrothal to him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
