A Law Unto Himself (1914)
George Chester is found murdered. Detective Bob Steele, sent on the case, examines the body of the deceased and finds in his hand a locket with the picture of a woman. He visits the Italian quarter and there discovers a girl, the counterpart of the picture in the locket. She takes him to her home. The detective meets her father and shows him the locket. The Italian claims it. Steele is about to arrest him when the accused man pleads permission to tell his story. He tells of his courtship of Maria back in Italy, of their marriage, of the coming of George Cheater into their life, of his wife's falling in love with the rich American, and of her running away with him, leaving the husband alone with their little girl.
