The Penalty of Intemperance Filming Locations

John comes home intoxicated and his brutal actions compel Kate to seek the protection of the law. He is arrested for cruelty and non-support and sent to the Island. His family becomes destitute; the young girl is sent to a charitable home and Kate and the baby to the hospital on the Island. Later, her health partially restored, Kate works for her board to be near her baby, but the previous privation has been too much for the tender mite and its weakened body finally succumbs to illness. John, a prisoner on the same island, learns of Kate's presence, and is grief-stricken at the news of the baby's death. He secures permission to see his child before the burial. The realization comes over John that he is to blame for all this sorrow and he determines to change his ways. After the baby's death, Kate returns to the city and secures employment. Two months later John is liberated and solemnly promises his wife that he will lead a new life. Kate takes him to her heart and John secures work. A year later, the result of strict temperance and the fulfillment of John's promise to his wife is a happy home.
