They are holding a very important meeting which runs far into the night. Barr is called to the telephone by his wife, who has only time to tell him that burglars have entered the house, when the wires are cut. Barr is frantic at the thought of his wife's peril, but is loath to leave the meeting, knowing that the dishonest directors will put through their election if left alone. He explains the situation to them and leaves, making a quick dash in his car to his home to find his wife and boy bound and gagged. The burglars are captured as they are making a getaway. The wife explains that she saw the burglars enter the back door and quickly telephoned to him, but that the wires must have been cut and that Billy had held the burglars at bay for a short while with a revolver he had taken from her bureau, and when she realized where the child had gone the thought of her child's danger gave her courage and she attempted to save the child. Colville held the directors from voting at the point of a revolver, which proved later to be empty. His bluff went through and Barr reached the office in time to put the election through as he wanted it. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
