The Idler
Regissert av Russell E. Smith14. februar 1914 11mShort
Sheldon Lewis, a young society man and an idler, is in love with Miriam Morris, a society girl with advanced ideas. She refuses to marry him on the ground that he is an idler, a "mollycoddle," and she wants a strong man, not a weakling. He is dismissed and goes home only to meet with an accident which deprives him of his faculties temporarily. He disappears from his haunts and the papers tell of the young millionaire's disappearance and the matter remains a mystery for over two years. Miriam has mourned him, for she cares for him in spite of his apparent weakness. Lewis wanders into a poor section of the city and foregathers with workmen and a still lower class which leads him into accepting an offer from Jerry Morgan, a burglar, to assist in robbing a house which Morgan has spied out as a good "lay." The house turns out to be that of Miriam's father, but Lewis does not recall it. His memory is gone. He goes to the house with Morgan and meets Miriam, who recognizes him, but he does not know her. He is led by her sweetness to turn on Morgan and refuses to allow him to harm her or rob the house, and they fight. After a terrific battle, in which Morgan triumphs and escapes, and Lewis puts up a good fight, he is hit on the head, and the blow knocks him unconscious. Morgan is captured and brought back to the house, where in revenge he implicates Lewis, but Miriam denies this and tells the police that he was hurt protecting her, that he was a friend of hers. He is taken to the hospital; the surgeon discovers the old fracture and an operation restores him to former power. Miriam realizes he is no longer a mollycoddle, and they marry.
