Donald's employer gives him a large sum of money to take to the firm where Roger is one of the clerks, Donald delivers the money and gets a receipt for it. The cashier who receives the money dies of heart failure immediately afterward. During the excitement, Roger steals the money and later purloins the receipt from Donald's pocket. Roger's firm has no knowledge of having received the money and Donald has no receipt to show that he has delivered it. He is charged with having stolen the cash and is sent to prison for five years. Amy finally marries Roger. Amy learns her husband's true character. She also discovers the stolen receipt, which Roger has kept. Donald is discharged from prison. He meets Amy by accident and learns of Roger's treachery. The latter overhears the conversation and learns that Donald proposes to break into the house and recover the receipt. Roger hastens home and so arranges the drawer of his dresser in which the paper is hidden that Donald, in opening it, will be shot by a revolver fastened within. Amy learns of the plan, but her husband imprisons her in an outhouse. Donald breaks into the house and commences his search. Amy escapes from the outhouse and arrives outside the window of Roger's room in time to see Donald about to open the dresser drawer. She fires her revolver to warn the man. Donald starts back in fright. Roger, in the next room, believes his plot has succeeded and rushes into the room. Seeing Donald alive, he thinks the shot has gone wild. He rushes to the dresser and pulls the drawer open. A shot rings out and Roger falls with a bullet in his heart. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
