Mr. Willis does not approve of the game and frequently remonstrates with his wife for her extravagance. In an effort to discover who is divulging certain information at the brokerage office, both Willis and another clerk come under the surveillance of detectives. A bribe is offered Willis, which he accepts, that he might entrap the man who offers it. Two men know of this intention of Willis. One is a traveling man, the other the suspected clerk at the office. Willis takes the money home and hides it carefully. His wife discovers it and uses a portion to pay her debts, later denying any knowledge of it. The bills are marked. One of these falls into the hands of the detectives and other evidences of Willis' seeming disloyalty are easily obtained. Summoned before the firm, he fully expects his fellow clerk to testify in his behalf. The latter stoutly denies that the conversation ever took place, and when Willis mentions the traveling man, he is confronted with the account of his death. Mrs. Willis tries to come to the rescue, but her story is not credited and Willis is discharged in disgrace. The traveling man, who is only slightly injured, learns of his friend's predicament and comes to the rescue. His reappearance frightens the guilty man into confession and the wife is cured of her love for cards by a bitter lesson. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
