A miser holds a mortgage on a house and to prevent the poor owner, who cannot meet the obligation, from renting the place, dresses in a sheet and makes the passing throng believe the house is haunted. This works well until a young man falls in love with the unfortunate mortgager's daughter. He does a bit of investigating and succeeds in exposing the nefarious scheme to the crowd of horrified spectators below. The miser writes a release of the mortgage when threatened with bodily harm by the enraged crowd. The young man goes to the other's house, presents the release and explains the circumstances. Thanks do not pay him, but the pretty love scene with which the picture closes seems likely to square any account he may have against the place. - The Moving Picture World, September 16, 1911
