After Twenty Years

Story

Synopsis

Tom Evans lives happily with his wife and child in their little place in Arizona until he is gripped with “Gold Fever”! He heads to Cripple Creek, strikes it rich, then abandoning his family makes his way to Chicago. Twenty years pass and he longs for his old home. Returning Tom is told by his son, now a man, there is no place for him before onlookers. Later, when Tom is found lying unconscious at the bottom of the arroyo, the son is accused and arrested. But Tom has only been stunned by his fall. He testifies that it was an accident, and reconciliation is affected between him and his long-lost family.
