He is expelled from the club and disowned by his father and sweetheart, Lucy Randall. Mr. Randall, Lucy's father, however, gives the young man a chance to begin life anew in his automobile factory. Three years later, when Randall's daughters, Lucy and her younger sister Muriel, return from abroad they find Atherton greatly changed. He is no longer a young idler, but a dependable business man. A keen competition is instituted between the various automobile companies with the result that unless Randall's company wins the great race at the Brighton Motordome they will be forced to the verge of bankruptcy. Randall, however, is optimistic, as he has engaged the most skillful driver in the country. An accident at the last minute, however, disables the man. Atherton volunteers to take his place. He wins the race for the company and the love of Muriel. Soon after this the truth about the card cheating comes out. Arthur's father asks his son's forgiveness and, cleared now before the world, he marries Muriel. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
