Guy Woodward makes love to Dora and Chester threatens him. Later Woodward places clothes along the riverbank to give the impression that he is dead, first having shown a threatening note from Conklin to the chief of police. In the meantime Conklin's twin brother arrives and while arguing about the settlement of his estate, Conklin is arrested, tried for murder, found guilty and placed in jail. Later Woodward returns, finds Conklin's twin brother and Dora running the store. He becomes a partner and makes love to Dora.
