The Law of Compensation Synopsis

Fine Feathers Synopsis

Temptation to cheat comes in the way of a young couple in reward for which the wife can escape from the bitterness of life on $25 per week in a New York suburb, i.e., Staten Island. There are no "classy," well-dressed people in New York south of Thirty-Fourth Street. Jane Reynolds, the aspirant after Fifth Avenue fine feathers thought this way, when the tempter came along and persuaded her to induce her husband to pass on an inferior quality of cement for a great dam then in course of construction. "Bob" Reynolds fell for the bribe and Jane got her fine feathers. The gambling mania got "Bob" and he was financially ruined in double quick time. The bursting of the dam, due to the bad cement, completed the tragedy of "Fine Feathers." The chief culprit, the tempter, committed suicide, and the young couple resolved to commence life all over again and go straight.
