Twenty years later Tom, who has made a careful study of the business, is given an opportunity to obtain a position of trust with the company. The company has a big government contract, the plans of which are in the hands of the chief draftsman, who, it is believed, is the only man who can successfully make them up. He, however, is suffering with fatal heart disease and on the day in which the plans are supposed to be completed, he dies. Cooper thinks the contract is lost, but Tom begs an opportunity to work on the plans and told that he has but eight hours to have the plans ready he locks himself in his room and goes to work. At midnight, just as Cooper has given up all hope, Tom, breathless after a long run, enters the room and hands the plans over to the government officials. An hour later it is learned that the company has won the contract and Tom is rewarded with the position of chief draftsman. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
