The day after the funeral, Mrs. Mason unexpectedly meets Joyce, whose only home is the nearby orphanage, and is struck by Joyce's resemblance to her lost daughter. She appeals to her husband and they decide to adopt Joyce. She is delighted with her new home, and the couple are delighted with her. However, Joyce resents the selection of a new butler and exhibits a distrust of Jenks. She is right: Jenks is the tool of Jim Vaughn, the notorious leader of a daring band of burglars. At the close of business one day Mason finds that he must produce $5,000 by morning or be declared insolvent. That evening he goes out to his office and Jim Vaughn, for whom large rewards are offered because of the numerous robberies attributed to his gang, breaks into the house. Joyce, awakened, hears him removing valuables, aided by Jenks. Desperate, she grasps her foster father's revolver and covers the two men. While holding them at bay she phones Mason and shouts a few words which explain her predicament. He comes with the police and Vaughn is captured. The $5,000 reward is given Joyce and she immediately turns it over to Mason to save him from bankruptcy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
