The strongest vaults are easily opened by the wonderful electrical tools invented by him. Tom, Norton's son, is his valuable assistant. The boy is sent to Maxdale to obtain information concerning a bank which he and his father plan to loot. Just as he is ready to stage the robbery, Tom rescues Evelyn Van Pult, who is being insulted by a gang of rowdies. The girl is the daughter of the bank president. Tom falls in love with her and is inspired to lead an honest life. Attracted by the young man, Van Pult makes him his secretary. Enraged by what he thinks is a yellow streak in Tom, Norton resolves to burglarize the bank alone. His electrical tools open the vault on the night that Tom and Evelyn make public their betrothal. Van Pult enters the bank for some documents he had forgotten. Discovering the burglar in the vault he slams the steel door into place, imprisoning Norton in the iron chamber. Tom learns what has occurred. He battles with the problem of either losing his sweetheart or of seeing his father sent to prison. Tom later fells the officer guarding his father, thus aiding the latter to escape. Later, Norton comes to the realization of his son's great sacrifice. Not to be outdone, the father appears before Van Pult and Evelyn and confesses all. Norton's vow to turn over a new leaf, and their love for Tom, decides the banker and his daughter. Father and son are forgiven. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
