Ivan Koyloff
Two factory owners, Hiram Maxwell (Walter McEwen) and Nicholas Harding (Frazer Coulter) are almost polar opposites -- Maxwell pays careful attention to his employees needs, while Harding totally disregards them. Maxwell's son, Frank (Earl Metcalfe), is very much like his father, and he is engaged to Harding's daughter, Ethel (Alice Reeves), who, unfortunately, has some of her father's less appealing traits. Naturally, she's not thrilled when he goes to work amongst the laborers at her father's factory. One of the other workers is Ruth Kravo (Gina Reilly), and both Frank and Ivan Koyloff (Boris Rosenthal) are attracted to her. One night when Frank calls on Ruth, Ivan jealously stabs him. The trouble this causes loses Ruth her job, but she goes to work as a secret service agent amongst her own people.
