He directs that all his property shall go to his niece, Isabel, on attaining the age of twenty-one. Weatherby is astonished at the value of Curwood's securities, and when a friend gives him a stock market tip he cannot resist the temptation to use a part of the Curwood estate "to make a killing." The market goes against him, however, and he is compelled to pledge other securities, until, on Isabel's twenty-first birthday, the estate has shrunk to nothing. Fearing to face the girl, yet determined to make the best of a bad situation, Weatherby attends her birthday reception and makes all appointment for the next day at his office. Others present at the reception are Ed Curwood, whom Isabel loves, and Count Kavroff, suitor of her sister Grace. Kavroff gives Isabel his signet ring and asks her to have it fitted to Grace's finger. Isabel goes shopping and meets Ed Curwood. Learning Ed's immediate need of money, she offers him her brooch to pawn until she gets her inheritance. She then resumes her walk and disappears. Her body is found in a lonely part of the park. Count Kavroff's ring is found beside the body, and he is arrested. Ed Curwood is arrested at a pawnshop with a ticket for Isabel's brooch in his possession. Grace, puzzled by a thumbprint on Isabel's hand mirror, calls on Weatherby. Accidentally she spills ink on the desk; Weatherby mops it up and leaves his thumbprint on a sheet of paper. The print tallies with that on the mirror, and Weatherby is arrested. He confesses that he killed Isabel and attempted to cast suspicion upon the count, whose ring he had found in her vanity case.
