Synopsis:
Three men and a beautiful woman compose a group of crooks, who are operating in New York's Chinatown. The chief of the gang reads a short news item in the daily paper, which states that several apparently miraculous cures are being performed by an old hermit in a small village up-state.
When they learn that the old patriarch is blind and deaf they conceive the idea of capitalizing the credulity of those who seek by faith to be cured by this miracle man. They establish themselves in his household and by imposition and good fortune, augmented by skillful publicity methods, they manage to rapidly acquire a fortune. But in the meantime, the leaven of the old miracle man is having effect on the hearts and souls of the crooks....

Illustrated with eleven images from the silent movie which was based on this book. The movie starred Lon Chaney.
