Nash and Gilton are none too friendly, because the young lawyer is anxious for big business, while Gilton is somewhat old fashioned. Nash is entrusted with an envelope for Gilton and locks it in the office safe. Later John Carling, the great financier, calls and gives a sealed envelope into Nash's keeping, to be delivered when a messenger appears with the mysterious password. The messenger proves to be Edith Elsden, a beautiful girl. Nash accompanies her to her Uncle's home and meets Lowe and Browdin, two financiers. Later Nash discovers that Carling, the financier, is in reality in Paris and has been impersonated by Keator, a noted crook. Keator appears disguised as Carling, knocks out young Nash and escapes. Nash recovers consciousness, takes Edith and drives to the office, where he finds the safe rifled and Gilton unconscious on the floor. Gilton revives, accuses Nash and falls senseless. Morley, an old bookkeeper, whom Nash inherited with the law practice, enters at this moment and charges Nash with murder. The night watchman enters and holds Nash for the arrival of the police. Meanwhile Edith is abducted by motorcar bandits, who drive her to a shack in the country where the false Carling has been forging railroad proxies. At dawn Nash escapes and hurries to the rescue of Edith. In a terrific hand-to-hand battle, the young lawyer knocks out the principal buccaneer and forces a confession from Keator. The story is concluded with a thrilling race to the city. Nash arrives just in time to stop the conspiracy to steal a railroad. He saves the day and, best of all, wins Edith for his wife.
