The seriousness of the breach with his parents, to whom he is really devoted, brings the young prodigal to his senses. His years of exile turn out to be his making. In the meantime, the younger brother, now absolute master of the situation at home, has thrown off all disguises and appears in his true character of the successful and undutiful son who is ashamed of his aged parents. At his hands, and at those of his equally domineering wife, the old folks learn how sharper than a serpent's tooth is the ingratitude of a thankless child. Matters have approached their crisis when the Black Sheep returns unexpectedly. He has amassed immense wealth and with this potent weapon, he resolves to fight his upstart brother and strike him where the blow may prove most effective. The two brothers meet on the floor of the Stock Exchange. It is a death grapple. The ingrate, Henry, emerges from it crushed and ruined. The very home where he has lorded it so insolently passes into the hands of the avenger. Jim loses no time in putting the house in order. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
