Robert Geddes has a pretty daughter, Ruth, who is loved by George Drake, his paymaster, and Joe Brooks, a young civil engineer, employed on the big railroad contract that is the immediate interest of Geddes & Co. Geddes rather favors Drake because the latter is a business man, but Ruth's preference is for Brooks, for she has taken an instinctive dislike to Drake, though she herself is scarcely conscious of this fact. Drake rides out to the construction camp to pay off the men and Ruth and her father go along. Drake takes a dislike to Brooks because of Ruth's preference for the young engineer, and this is fanned into hatred by later slights. There is an altercation that marks the climax of the hatred and Ruth's mistrust of Drake turns to disgust. Drake sees that he has lost and plans to steal the payroll and leave the country. But the thief is himself robbed by the mulatto foreman of the gang of negro track layers and is left insensible on the road. He charges Brooks with being the man who planned the robbery and the Sheriff takes him into custody. Then a search is instituted for the others and the foreman is run down and apprehended. Brooks is freed from the suspicion and Drake shares prison quarters with the negro. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
