Plot
[edit]As described in a film magazine review,[2] Slim Jim Carey, a titled nobleman who is also the leader of a band of crooks, is reported dead and leaves proof of his daughter’s claim to the estate with his henchmen. Not trusting them, he spies on them from behind his own portrait. With the aid of the man who loves his daughter, he frustrates their plots to get the money in the estate, and is caught by the police just as he is shot. Dying, he reveals his identity to the young man, but not to his daughter.
