He knows young Hueston's skill as an expert penman, and challenges him by making out a check to him and signing it with his signature. He tells Hueston the check is his if he can duplicate it. Hueston copies it so well that one cannot be distinguished from the other. Barrett lakes both the checks in his hand and by clever substitution, gives him hack the forged one and tells him he can cash it. Hueston not suspecting Barrett of any treachery, goes to the bank where he can cash it. The forgery is discovered. Barrett denies all knowledge of the check. Hueston is arrested, convicted and sent to jail. Millicent has never ceased to love Hueston, but her parents persuade her to marry Barrett. One morning she picks up the newspaper and reads that Lewis Hueston has escaped from prison. She is greatly interested in the article. Her husband enters the room and snatches the paper from her. He intently peruses it. While he is thus engaged, Millicent places a blank record on the phonograph nearby and starts the machinery. Barrett turns angrily to her and asks if she still loves Barrett. She confesses she does. He tells her that because of her love for Hueston, he is in his present condition. She, in astonishment, asks him how so, and excitedly he tells her he led Hueston to commit the forgery which placed him in jail. His words are all recorded in the phonograph. He angrily leaves the room. Just after her husband has gone, Hueston appears. She hastily tells him that she knows all about Barrett's villainy, gives him the record, begs him to flee, and she will meet him at a certain point. Her husband detects her and follows her to the appointed place. Hueston faces him and accuses him of his treachery. Barrett steps back as if to avoid him and accidentally falls over the cliff into the river below. At this moment, the prison guards and officers appear and capture Hueston. Millicent, now being a widow, secures, through her lawyers, a new trial for Hueston, and on the evidence of the phonograph record, he is declared innocent and released from prison, finally securing justice. Later, when the memories of the past are almost forgotten, Lewis Hueston and Millicent are seen together in sweet anticipation of their coming marriage.
