The friend promises to raise the money if possible, to avert an investigation next day. The banker's selfish wife scolds him for his refusal to attend a ball, and goes off alone, while he, convinced that he faces imprisonment, determines to kill himself. He is interrupted by the entrance of a female burglar. At pistol's point she declares that she is not a regular thief, but stole that she might send her ailing husband to the country. The banker, incredulous, offers her five hundred dollars if she will prove her love by drinking poison, and she consents. But she drinks only water. Convinced at last, he sends her home rejoicing to her husband, of whose restoration to health she can now be assured. Her daring act has saved the banker, too, for just then the telephone rings and his friend announces that the money has been raised. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
