Tom remains home and supports his aged mother. Sid Hart is ashamed of his poor relations. He grudgingly allows his mother five dollars a week. The mother falls sick through the heat of the great city. Tom makes a plea to his brother, asking him to raise the allowance as he is out of work and they need the money. Sid's wife answers the letter, refusing the request. Tom desperately raises his brother's check from five to five hundred dollars. He sends his mother away to the country under the doctor's advice and then calls upon his brother, telling him what he has done. The brother angrily telephones to the police and has Tom arrested. The argument is heard by Edna Poxley, Sid Heart's stenographer. The girl and Tom Hart are sweethearts, but have hidden the fact from Sid, who does not know they are even acquainted. Sid Hart is a roué. He has a private apartment where he entertains his lady friends, unknown to his wife. He has hinted at various times that Edna, who is poor, might share these apartments if she so wishes. He shows her the key to the apartment, which he has placed in Edna's desk so that his wife will not find it. Edna plans to trick Sid. She leaves the office. Sid finds a note from her stating that she has accepted his proposition and has gone to the flat to look over it, requesting him to meet her there. Edna goes to the apartments and phones Sid's wife to come there at once. Sid, in the meantime, is following her. Edna forces Sid to telephone the police exonerating his brother. She informs him that his wife is on her way to the flat and that if he does not do as she commands she will expose his double life to his wife. Sid Hart telephones the police that he has made a mistake about the check. The wife arrives while Edna is secreted behind some curtains. The wife goes to examine the rooms and Edna leaves to join Tom, while Sid is forced to explain to his wife that he has furnished the flat as a present to her on her forthcoming birthday.
