The Crime of Wall Street

Richard Lamb, the head of a powerful trust, needs the co-operation of an heiress, Ellen White, who resists all attempts to make her join the trust. One of Lamb's friends, a young man named Milton, succeeds in becoming the private secretary of Miss White, and soon possesses a good deal of her confidence. While out on a mission of charity, the horses of Ellen's carriage run away and Milton saves her from certain death. He becomes slightly injured and is nursed back to health by Miss White. He is now deeply in love with the girl and has forgotten all about his mission to win Ellen's consent to join the trust. He gets a telegram prodding his memory and upon his recommendation Ellen joins the trust. In the meantime Ellen discovers the real identity of Milton and that she is learning to love him. She immediately discharges him and bids him be gone forever. On his way back to the headquarters of the trust Milton is stopped by an accident which happens to his automobile and becomes a witness to the popular indignation against the trust. He finally arrives in the office of Lamb and makes his report. He is now determined to break the trust. The big warehouses of the trust are burned to the ground. Milton forms a counter-trust. Ellen White gives a masked ball and Milton decides to go, though not invited. The servants report that a crank dressed as a Black Pierrot and armed with dynamite has gained entrance to the ball. Milton is taken for the intruder. A very tense situation is encountered. How cleverly it is solved and how justice triumphs over all obstacles, is shown with wonderful skill in the pictures.
