His methods were finer and more far-reaching than those of Griggs, whom he had betrayed and tried to forget. Griggs, "the worst man in New York," however, did not forget. He rallied his minions in a dungeon-like, underground dive. In darkest New York for a master stroke, but Brock was alert to the situation, and as usual, betrayed them to the police. It was Griggs' fortune, however, to escape this last raid, dangerously wounded. He fled away in the dark, and dropping off the train, strangely enough, landed at Brock's country place. He learned this fact later as he was having his wound dressed, and conceived a dastardly plan of "doctoring" the pleasure boat, used by his arch enemy's daughter. As he watched the little craft put out on the deep lake and begin to sink, carrying the dearest thing associated with the life of Brock, the diabolical glee of the revengeful gangster. Griggs, faded as he watched the dramatic death struggle of an innocent young girl, a sacrifice to his personal hate, At that moment the humane impulse surged superior to the meaner emotions in his darkened soul. To swim the intervening waters and rescue the girl meant certain death in his weakened condition, but the supreme moment could not be denied, and he took the chance. He reached the girl as her boat went under and left her struggling in the water. He sustained her until the father's boat rushed up and she was dragged aboard. The exertion was too much for the exhausted Griggs. and he sank as Brock recognized him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
