The Dollar Mark (1914)
ROBERT WARWICK in 5 ACTS A WILLIAM A. BRADY FEATURE
ROBERT WARWICK in 5 ACTS A WILLIAM A. BRADY FEATURE Jim Gresham, owner of the Nelly Davis Mines, is approached by a scheming capitalist, Carson Baylis, with his friend Martin, to seel the mines under the pretenses that he is taking a great risk due to government regulations. Jim, knowing the courts had decided in his favor, flatly refuses the offer. Baylis, with a party, visits the Cobalt district to look over the ground. During the visit one of the party, Alice Chandler, while sketching, is caught in a terrific storm. Jim offers the hospitality of his little hut. During the storm the dam breaks, tearing houses from their foundations and ripping mighty trees from their roofs. Breaking down a door, Jim, with Alice, float down the raging cataract until reaching a large tree. He chains himself to raft and tree. Martin, realizing the danger, goes to the rescue on horseback. The party once safely on land, Jim is again approached to sell, but still refuses. Several years later Martin has become a friend and partner in Jim's bank, which Baylis attempts to break. The news reaches Jim while at a party. Seeking a means to get to New Yor, Alice's brother offers his yacht. During the voyage Baylis purchases the yacht and forces the captin to put to sea. Jim in desperation compels Baylis to enter a hatch, which he closes on him, while Martin, at the point of a revolver, directs the yacht. Jim reaches New York in time to save the bank and claims Alice as his prize. The Throbbing Hearts and Broken Image
