Daniel is nursed back to health by his daughter Susan (played by Eileen Sedgwick), but Clare de Voe (played by Ruth Royce) watched Jack Gordon come home and betrays him to the rebels, claiming he is a coward and a traitor.

Notes

My two earlier web pages on this lost serial were completely erroneous as to the details of the plot, and because I now know I was utterly mistaken as to its details, this page actually amounts to a completely new web page.
