Description

— Stewart Rome, Violet Hopson, Ruby Belasco and Henry Vibart are the featured players in this story, which concerns a motherless girl newly arrived in America from England, who visits a church and there hears a sermon on the "Shepherd of Souls." The sermon over, the kindly minister talks with her and eventually succeeds in getting her a place as a servant in the home of the man she has come to America to see, though unknown, of course, to both. A theft by this man's wife to cover gambling debts results in the girl's accusation by her master, and when the girl breaks down in court the minister is summoned to care for her and receives from her a note that reveals the fact that her employer is her own father. When the minister makes known the contents of the note, the man, to save his wife from disgrace, claims to have committed the theft himself and then under the strain his heart gives way, and he passes over to the eternal care of "The Shepherd of Souls."
