Bob is a chauffeur and a peculiar genius, but he is not the hero of this photoplay, though he plays an important role in it. The hero is Jack Cummings, who is cashier of the First National Bank of Bacon City. Now Cummings owns a car and loves the daughter of the Bank President. The latter is not favorable to the cashier's suit as the latter is not well fixed with this world's goods. Now, the Vice-President schemes to get a half of the bank's funds and inveigles the cashier to come in on "a sure thing" proposition. Thus a "loan" is negotiated and the cashier's prospects look immense. in the meantime the chauffeur takes his girl on a joy ride, and the cashier finding it out, discharges him. The chauffeur pleads, but the cashier is obdurate and the chauffeur leaves, vowing vengeance. Now the bubble burst on the "sure thing" proposition and the cashier finds himself confronted by a terrible dilemma, disgrace and ruin staring him in the face. Almost bereft of his senses, he decides to take his life. He sits down and writes a letter acknowledging his culpability. At this juncture, the chauffeur, in the role of a burglar, enters the room and levels his gun at the cashier. He sees the situation, however, and decides to hold the cashier so that he must take his medicine. Several hours elapse, and in the early morning, the cashier's sweetheart rushes in on the scene with a newspaper in her hand. The Vice-President has committed suicide and confesses his guilt, and takes upon himself the entire blame. But stranger than this, the "sure thing" proposition has panned out good, and the cashier can meet the demands of his sweetheart's father. He is overjoyed. The chauffeur demands his old job back again, which is readily done and the incriminating letter is destroyed. Shortly after, the wedding bells ring out for a double header.
