They trail the doctor home, overpower him, and in their search for the money, terrify his wife and child. The little daughter of one of the crooks has seen them enter the house and runs home to tell her mother that "father is sick at the doctor's." When the police arrive, they find one crook dying, shot by his companion in a quarrel over the spoils. The money box contains a portrait by means of which the doctor was to identify the miser's heir. Recognizing his own photograph, the younger crook claims the fortune, and this provokes the fatal quarrel. Dying, he leaves the fortune to his long-suffering family.
