Max, rejected, returns to his chambers, and would like to die, but his courage fails him at the critical moment. He is interrupted in his reflections by a burglar. At the sight of Sykes, Max becomes inspired and offers him the sum of $500 to kill him before midnight. The thief agrees and departs. A new arrival now appears, who turns out to be a lawyer, who has called to inform Max that a large fortune has been left him by his uncle. Transported with joy, Max hastens to inform Kitty's father, and is, of course, immediately accepted, and invited to dinner. During dinner a servant announces that a visitor wishes to speak to Max. He goes to meet the newcomer, and is horrified to recognize Sykes, whose existence he had temporarily forgotten. With a cry he dashes out into the street, runs for dear life, is overtaken, and tremblingly awaits his death blow. Judge of his happiness and surprise when Sykes coolly hands him back to $500, saying at the same time that he is not going to risk his precious neck simply to do Max a favor.
