Seeing an advertisement in the paper of one of the get-rich-quick concerns, and becoming possessed with the desire to make good before his father and sister, he robs his father of three hundred dollars, fully believing that he can return the money in a few days, and also add a great deal more to his income. But ere the money has left his hands, he discovers that the enterprise is a fraud and that his father is now investigating its false methods and is authorized to secure all mail addressed to the company. The boy realizes that his father will discover his theft through this means and so he applies to his sister's sweetheart, Jack Morton, who is a cowboy, for aid. Jack realizes what it would mean to his sweetheart and her father, and to save the family from disgrace, he robs the mail, holds up the stagecoach, and secures the damaging letter. The boy returns the money to his father's safe and all would have been well but for a missing cuff button which eventually places the guilt of the stagecoach hold-up on Jack. He is willing to stand the guilt for his sweetheart's safe, but her brother confesses his crime and Jack is again reinstated. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
