Summary
The title of 'The Blot' has reference to the true but shocking fact that college professors and clergymen are not adequately salaried to support their families in a decent manner. Lois Weber takes up this problem and skillfully makes of it a worthwhile film. It is not a sermon, but a vivid portrayal of truth. It is the story of an impoverished college professor who is unable to provide his wife and daughter with even the necessities of life. Film synopsis included.
