He heads down to the local tavern, The Sickle And Sheaf, to make the acquaintance of the new doctor, who has just arrived in town. While there, he knocks out a tough guy who has been terrorizing the bar. Simon Slade, the bar owner insists that the teetotaling Morgan celebrates with a drink. In short order, Slade has Morgan stinking drunk. A terrible demon has been unleashed in the miller, and soon he is staggering home sloshed nightly. His descent into unbridled alcoholism is swift, and within a year he has lost his dignity, his mill, and the respect of  his family. When dear little Mary comes to the bar, pleading for her father to return home, she is struck in the head with a beer mug, and the horrified father realizes that his actions may have cost the life of the child he holds most precious.\u003cp\u003eBased on the hit temperance play and three previous silent film versions, \u003ci\u003eTen Nights In A Bar-Room\u003c\/i\u003e features William Farnum in a haunting performance as the miller who loses all to the bottle and Thomas Santschi is loathsome as the demonic bar owner.
