When he leaves for a business trip, his wife calls the other man for another meeting. Van Austin takes the opportunity to call late that evening. Mr. Warren misses his train, returns unexpectedly, and as he comes up the steps to his residence he sees a man forcing an entrance through a window. He draws a revolver, and entering through a door into the room, fires at the window curtains. He turns on the lights and there stands a burglar with his hands in the air. Mr. Warren is about to call up the police headquarters when he hears a groan from behind the curtains. Tearing them open he discovers Mr. Van Austin wounded in the arm from his shot. He looks around and sees grips packed and realizes that his wife is about to leave him. He makes a bitter comparison between the crook who came to steal his worldly goods and the supposedly respectable man who came to steal his wife. Police Headquarters, having heard his call and receiving no answer, finally dispatch two men to the house; Warren meets them at the door and says the call was a mistake. Warren finally gives Van Austin the alternative of leaving the community immediately or being shot on sight. Van Austin makes a precipitous flight. Warren, hearing the condition of the crook's family, lets him go with a promise of employment on his country estate. His wife affects a reconciliation, and the sunrise opens a new era for them.
