His debts accumulate until he is led one night to rob the safe. As he is making his escape he is pursued by the janitor, who has returned to the bank for a bottle of medicine for his sick wife which he left there. Meanwhile two crooks cut the burglar-alarm wires and enter the bank. The police see them and give the alarm. Gale and the janitor are struggling at the railway station. The latter is trying to convince the president that he must not flee the town, but should return the money and go home to his wife and children. At last Gale turns back with his advisor to the bank. The crooks, running out of an alleyway, with the police in hot pursuit, run into Gale. The bag of money falls, and before the crooks can escape, the police have them. Then one of the officers picks up the bag and, handing it to the president, says that the burglars have just emptied the safe. The money is put back. Gale's reputation is saved. And the young janitor goes home with the medicine to his sick wife, happy in the realization that he has saved his employer's honor. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
