Plot
As described in a film magazine review, Raoul Lesage, a great artist, lives happily in his large home with his four year old son Paul and his wife April until he is deceived by Herman Bennett, who attempts to caress April. Raoul believes his wife has been unfaithful and takes the child to another home. Paul Lesage grows to be 24 years old without having seen a woman. Bennet, who is also an artist, has spent the last twenty years forging the works of the master Lesage. Paul starts walking in his sleep. He is picked up by a band of merrymakers and is taken to a roadhouse where he meets Helen Dresden, the ward of Bennett. The two fall in love. Police raid the roadhouse and Paul prevents the arrest of Helen. Bennett engages Paul to paint for him, but Paul does not know that the name Lesage is to be forged on the artwork. Bennett buys the house where April has long been the housekeeper, waiting for her husband and son to return to her. She is bound by sentiment to remain in the house. She is put in the tower of the house; she is told that Paul will be branded in the face. Paul breaks away, takes his mother and Helen, and escapes from the house. Bennett pursues them and is killed when his car goes over a cliff. Paul and Helen plight their troth, promising to be true to each other.Cast
