One such woman is Nora Carey, who earns nine dollars per week in John Travers\u0027 ribbon factory. Attracted by Nora\u0027s beauty and honesty, Hugh Travers, the mill owner\u0027s son, offers to send her sister Katherine to boarding school, and after Nora is discharged for rejecting the gruff advances of Marlinoff, the foreman, Hugh establishes her in an apartment. The angry Marlinoff reports Hugh\u0027s activities to the elder Travers, who threatens to disinherit his son unless he breaks his engagement to Nora. Travers then discharges Marlinoff. He is about to sign a new will when a bomb planted by the vengeful Marlinoff explodes, killing the old man. True to his word, Hugh then marries Nora and inherits his father\u0027s millions.","wins":0,"nominations":0,"casts":[{"name":"Ethel Clayton","code":"nm0165691","characters":"Nora Carey"},{"name":"Frank Beamish","code":"nm0063748","characters":"Marlinoff"},{"name":"Jack Drumier","code":"nm0238532","characters":"John Travers"},{"name":"Frank Mayo","code":"nm0562866","characters":"Hugh Travers"},{"name":"Katherine Johnston","code":"nm0426718","characters":"Katherine Carey"},{"name":"Zadee Burbank","code":"nm0120749","characters":"Mrs. Van Schuyler"},{"name":"Pinna Nesbit","code":"nm0626341","characters":"Eleanor Van Schuyler"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"social"},{"text":"inheritance"},{"text":"murder"},{"text":"new england"},{"text":"revenge"}],"production":[{"id":"co0069862","text":"World Film"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[]}
