John Brady, the factory foreman, takes a strong fancy to Ethel and determines to win her by fair means or foul; however, his advances are more on the order of insults to her, and he is discharged. Some time later, Ethel attends a masked ball and dances with William Barnes, a stranger, and it's love at first sight. Brady also attends this ball and secures an opportunity to make unwelcome advances to her. Barnes avenges this by thrashing Brady. Brady leaves, determined to get even in some way; he visits the factory, robs the safe, and sets fire to the place. Meanwhile, Barnes has been trying to coax Ethel to unmask; in the friendly struggle, Ethel loses her bracelet and Barnes pockets it. Ethel's father learns of the fire and realizes that he is completely ruined by it; he later dies as a result of the shock. Forced to earn her own living, Ethel secures a position in the home of Barnes' sister, unaware of their relationship. She has again refused a marriage proposal from Brady. Barnes, constantly thinking of Ethel, decides to have a masked ball in his sister's home in the hope that he might again meet Ethel--whose name he never learned. When the ball is given Ethel is in the house, but not as a guest. She notes Barnes' presence and his sad demeanor. She goes to her room and dons the dress she wore at the previous ball. During this time detectives concerned in the fire case have been slowly fastening evidence of guilt upon Brady. Brady has learned of Barnes' masked ball and presented himself and secured admission, though not a guest. During the height of pleasure, Brady is arrested. Barnes and Ethel unmask and the light in their eyes prophesies the culmination of romance in marriage. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
