Summary
Audiences roar and join in singing old fashioned songs. On a dark and stormy night Purity Dean, a working girl with a secret, seeks shelter from the storm in a Vermont inn. She's been forced to give up her canning factory job as she can no longer endure black hearted Mortimer Frothingham's attentions. Working as a maid at the inn, she falls in love with the brave Leander, who works in a pickle factory. But Mortimer still pursues Purity and will win her by fair or foul means. And so he begins his campaign of villainy. He locks our hero, Leander, in a room with a time bomb. He escapes in the nick of time, but Mortimer's disappeared. Heavily disguised, he returns and Purity's treated to more double dealing and double crossing. Naturally Virtue eventually triumphs. Purity's secret is discovered, bringing her great wealth and happiness with Leander. Played in modern costumes.
