He has to fake a plan, which he does. He arranges a fake drowning. He gets a fisherman friend to wet his clothes in the river, and return them to his wife and daughters with the story that they were found on the bank. While the fisherman is sousing the garments in the water, and John is standing by watching the proceeding, his youngest daughter and her sweetheart, Harry, happen to pass on the pier above and see them. They hurry home to inform the folks and arrive just after the fisherman has delivered the clothes and told the falsehood. They explain the whole affair as they saw it, and upon inspection they find the tell-tale letter still in the pocket. They accept Harry's idea that if John wishes to be a dead one, it will be a good plan to let him be dead. John returns from the trip dead broke, poker cleaned him out. His wife and daughter refuse to recognize him, even his office employees, who have been put wise, ignore him. He tries to send a telegram, but the operator refuses to accept it collect. He goes home to make one last appeal and is taken back on the condition that he eat the letter that led him into the trouble. He does so, but Maud pleads, and he gets a concession in the shape of permission to eat it between two slices of bread. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
