The Secret Service man falls in love with Elizabeth. Simpson, one of the counterfeiters, passes his product by posing as a Bible salesman. Gordon returns home, after serving a twenty-year sentence. Informed by his wife that their daughter knows nothing of his criminal career, the ex-convict consents to keep out of Elizabeth's sight. Later, Gordon discovers Simpson in the act of victimizing his wife and daughter. The counterfeiter, however, cleverly assuages Gordon's anger and induces him to join the gang. At the same time, Deering, posing as an expert engraver, worms his way into the gang's confidence. The detective's identity is discovered by Gordon and the latter betrays him. The ex-convict then learns that the young man intends to make Elizabeth his wife. Determined that his daughter's happiness shall not be destroyed, Gordon allows Deering to escape. The detective, enlisting the aid of the sheriff and his posse, surrounds the counterfeiters' den. A desperate battle ensues. It ends when the tackers' bullets strike a box containing dynamite. The resultant explosion kills every man in the cabin. Mrs. Gordon and Deering keep from Elizabeth the knowledge that her father was one of the victims.
