Judge Calder, who is to try the case, is an especially upright man. He is in love with Hallett's daughter Rose. Hallett and Creegan are afraid of the judge's decision. Creegan insists that they must bribe him. He tries and fails. Then he advises Hallett to use his daughter as a weapon, making her believe that her father is the victim of a conspiracy. Innocently she tries to persuade him to decide in favor of her father. He refuses and insists upon doing his duty. Later she overhears Creegan and some confederates plotting to abduct and perhaps murder Calder. She sees that she has been deceived and at once goes off to warn her lover. She gets there in time. Creegan's tool, Harkin, who brings a decoy message to Calder, is arrested with his accomplices, and turns state's evidence, to Creegan's horror and dismay. Judge Calder turns up in court the next morning, alive and well. Creegan is arrested for conspiracy. The judge passes sentence on Hallett. The latter has now come to a realization of his crime. As he goes to prison, he leaves his daughter's future in the hands of the man who condemned him, because he has found him fair and just, a man of honor who will do his duty at all hazards.
