About The Clutch of Circumstance
Eli Turner, an unscrupulous lawyer, is defeated in court by Frank Morrison, a young attorney. Frank also has had the temerity to get in Turner's path over a girl. Now Turner plots to send Morrison to prison, but Nance, a mountain girl, who admires Frank, warns him of his danger.
