The Family Skeleton

The story of a struggle against heredity and the awakening of a soul through faith and love.

Wealthy young Billy Bates's greatest fear is that he has inherited his family curse: drink. But when he falls for a beautiful showgirl from the Ziegfeld Follies, she shows him he has nothing to fear.
