: evil grip. Delaney, known as the fight
: ing parson,' wages war against the
80 IN viYS1la and
( in life
- From his pulpit Delaney opens his
= campaign His scathing sermon strikes
terror to the hearts OF Randall and mis-
:, cotsrit Efforts are made to comprorn1Se
= DELANEY. but stcadfastly he tights on.
: At the bidding Of their over1ords, hun
: dreds Of scarlet women storm Deianeys
' church With Yvonne as their spokes-
woman, they demand to know what pro-
vision Delaney has made for them
Are they to be turned adrift-to be fur
Sther buffeted--to be driven deeped down
Unto the black mire Of vice and degen-
,eracy?
< Mary. among tho Magdalens at the
,-church. decides to aid the pastor in his
hight. She is taken into the home OF one
: OF the pastors workers
=. The fight goes on. Tho System
kwhinesS and trcmbles in the light OF
Ipitiless publicity. but Flip. the I'M
tSspeakable. continues to ply his foul
trade. He picks acquaintance with
Betty Randall's daughter-the ore
clean thing in Randalls life. She has
been carefully shielded from all knowl-
ss-edge OF the Web.
y FLIP, not knowing who she is- plays
upon her desire TO go on the stage lie
takes her to the Web. Mary. seeing her
enter rs doors, knows the awful fate
$awaiting her. She enlists Noers aid
The fighting parson fearlesSly enters
1.-The dive.
(. Betty. struggling with Flip. escapes
half clad and is pursued Screaming,
she runs across the cafe floor. Flip IS
at, her heels. She falls unconscious In
the pastors arms as Randall recognizes
the :. terror-stricken girl as his own
daughter. With inconsistent wrath. the
boss" strikes Flip to the floor. The
latter, wild with drink, draws his gun
y and hres.
!; So writes The Finger of Justice"
Randall, who dominated the Law that he
might profit from vice. answers to the
highest law.
Meanwhile. Mary is redeemed. Noefs
vigorous tight has aroused the cIty's
wrath against the system" Tho fear
less parson wins. The System -
Observation-Disclosures from power.
Vice IN wiped out and for the first tine
In half a century the great city's soul
/: Is clean.
