[1] The Dawn of Tomorrow is about a young girl named Glad (Mary Pickford) who becomes the inspiration for a suicidal millionaire to keep living.

She tries to persuade her sweetheart Dandy (played by David Powell), who is an unscrupulous thief, to give up his ways, though initially not to much avail.

At the same time, the millionaire Sir Oliver Holt (Forrest Robinson) has been diagnosed with incurable dementia.

Meanwhile, Dandy has been falsely accused of murder, and only Holt's corrupt nephew (Robert Cain) could prove his innocence.

Glad and Dandy are now finally reunited and the millionaire Holt, now seeming to be renewed in mind and spirit, vows to a life of charity and is suicidal no more.
