Jack is in sore straits because of the exorbitant demands of Jane, whom he loves, but who is leading him on merely for the sake of the luxuries with which he supplies her. Jane is not a bad sort, but her love for the good things of life asserts itself prominently. When Jack introduces Bob to Jane, the two are attracted to each other. After some tome Bob proposes to her, telling her that he will be unable to touch his fortune for at least two years, and Jane is surprised to find that she has learned to love him, despite the fact that she has been mistaken about his wealth. She consents to the marriage. Jack, down and out, comes to Bob for a loan. The latter goes out to get some money to help him out and meanwhile leaves the payroll in his desk. When he returns he finds that Jack has disappeared with the firm's money. Knowing that Jack's mother, Emily, who has been almost a mother to himself, is seriously ill, and that the knowledge of her son's crime would kill her, Bob assumes the responsibility for the theft. Wheatly, Lewis' business partner, learns the truth about the robbery, and his memory goes back many years to the time when Emily had spurned him. The spark of vengeance is born within him and he determines to prosecute Jack to obtain satisfaction for his mother's treatment so long ago. He goes to the Lewis home to accuse him of the crime, but when he sees his former sweetheart for the first time since his proposal had been refused, he realizes that he still loves her and the sight of her has driven from him all thoughts of revenge.
