The Man Who Vanished

Happiness reigns in the home of James Dell until Lieutenant Scott, one of Mrs. Dell's old admirers, comes to visit them. Mr. Dell watches, with growing jealousy, a close and deep friendship forming between Lieutenant Scott and his wife. On studying a photograph of himself taken several years back, he notices the remarkable resemblance to his butler, Robert Jones, and decides on a ruse to watch his wife. The next morning Mr. Dell's empty purse is found on a stack of hay, and signs of a desperate struggle are visible. The premises, upon being searched, show no trace of Mr. Dell's whereabouts. The butler is found hiding in the wardrobe adjoining the boudoir of Mrs. Dell, and upon being searched, a watch and fob belonging to Mr. Dell are brought to light. He is immediately placed under arrest on suspicion of having murdered Mr. Dell, but he tries to convince them that he is Mr. Dell, disguised. However, he is not given an opportunity to prove his true identity, and is removed to a sanitarium, pending examination as to his sanity. In a little town some distance from the home of Mr. Dell, the real butler, Robert Jones, who has been sent away by Mr. Dell, in order that his plans might be carried out the more safely, reads an article in a newspaper pertaining to this strange case, and he immediately sets out for the mansion. Meanwhile, in the sanitarium, Mr. Dell, weary after long weeks of imprisonment, longs to see his child. He escapes from the asylum and safely reaches his home. He climbs through a window into his little daughter's room and carries her away with him, but he is discovered and pursued. In the meantime Robert Jones, on his way from the railroad station, is recognized and arrested as the murderer. Under escort, he is on his way to the mansion, when, at a turn in the road, he comes upon Mr. Dell, who has just been captured by his pursuers, and the mystery is revealed. Mr. Dell explains that owing to his own jealous nature, he decided to impersonate the butler in order to observe his wife's actions with Lieutenant Scott, and sent his butler away in order to carry out his plans more safely. Mrs. Dell, in return, shows her husband a letter from Lieutenant Scott, which shows that she loves her husband only.
