Jack receives a letter from a friend telling him of a partnership opportunity, but one which will require the investment of $500. He is without the necessary amount, but Kitty, anxious to help him, sells some jewelry left by her mother, and raises $250. She does not tell Jack the source of the money, fearing that he would refuse to accept the sacrifice. Lloyd, Kitty's weakling brother, has become involved with questionable associates, who promise to let him in on a deal if he can raise $250. Remembering the jewelry, he plans to steal it, but finds that it is gone. During the lunch hour he goes to Kitty's office, hoping to find the jewels in her desk. Not finding them, he is about to leave, when he sees Hedden's checkbook. He takes several blank checks and a spoiled and torn check which Hedden has signed but thrown away. He leaves the book on Jack's desk. When Kitty returns, she finds the book, and takes it to Hedden. telling him that it was on Jack's desk.

At home, Lloyd forges a check for $250, and when leaving drops a blank check and the torn copy on the floor. That evening Jack comes to Kitty, telling her that he has borrowed the remaining sum of $250 and is leaving for the other city. When he leaves Kitty finds the two checks on the floor and thinks that Jack has dropped them. The next day Hedden is told by the bank that they have received a suspected check. He remembers the finding of the book on Jack's desk, and sees the advantage which he now has over Kitty. He demands that she marry him, or see her lover convicted of forgery and Kitty consents to save him.
