The man carelessly places the money under a book. When Slocum searches for the money an hour later, it has disappeared. Despite his protests of innocence, Kent believes Slocum has stolen the money and discharges him. Bert, Kent's son. loves Dora, daughter of the accused man. Filled with bitterness, Slocum forbids his daughter to have anything to do with the son of the man who has called him a thief. Dora, however, promises to marry Bert when her father's innocence has been established. Shortly afterwards, the Slocums leave for the mountains where they make their home. Several months later, Bert and a chum leave on a hunting trip. While chasing a deer, the boy loses his way. He finally succumbs of cold and exhaustion. As fate would have it, Slocum, who lives close by, comes upon the boy. Remembering the wrong he has suffered, he determines to let the son of his accuser perish, but the thought that his daughter loves the boy, causes him to pick up Bert, who is unconscious, and carry him home. At the same moment, carpenters making repairs in Kent's offices, discover the missing bills in a rat hole. Kent is overcome with remorse when he learns of how he had wronged his old friend. He immediately telegraphs to his son in the mountains requesting him to inform Slocum of what has occurred. The telegram reaches Bert's chum just as he is about to start out with a searching party. The men finally arrive at Slocum's home where the missing boy is found. Bert reads the telegram and then hands it to Slocum.
