The Family Secret

Margaret Selfridge marries Garry Holmes, a poorer man her father Simon hates. Simon sends her away without knowing about the marriage, and she gives birth to Peggy. After Simon has Garry jailed on a theft he invented, another ex-convict talks Garry into a burglary. Garry finds the lost child crying outside a New York fruit stand and does not know she is his. At the family's Westchester house Peggy stops him at the safe and offers the wedding ring Margaret wears on a chain. He recognizes it. Simon shoots him as a burglar, a doctor is called, and after Garry recovers Simon takes him into the house.
