Plot

[edit]

The story revolves around John Harden, a Wall Street banker whose absence in faith leads to a life of despair and poverty. Having risen to a position of power on Wall Street, he boasts about his successes, claiming that he is the master of his fate, not God nor the devil. Soon afterwards, though, his family goes into poverty and his friends leave him. His faith is restored when he rescues his daughter who was being kept hostage in a Chinese opium den.[1][2]
