He takes her to his home and leaves her there for the night in the care of his sister. In the back room of a little Bridgeport hotel, Richard and Henry Craig are deciding what action they should take, for on the following day, Mary will be of age and the money in trust will be turned over to her. They finally decide to hire an automobile and get to New York without attracting attention, and be at hand at the Occidental Trust at noon sharp. While all this action is going on, Mary is sleeping peacefully; on the other hand, Billy Peart receives a wire from Lawyer Foster to appear at his office and we see him sailing in his launch to the New York dock, to collect, as he hopes, the ten thousand dollars promised by Craig. So closer and closer all the people gather. It is morning and we see Mary enter the lawyer's office. Two plain clothes men are on hand as Peart comes on the scene. The two Craigs are hiding behind the stairs just outside the private office of the Occidental Trust, watching and waiting. If Mary does not appear, the money is theirs. Back in Foster's office the issue is at stake. Peart in handcuffs has confessed all. It is nearly noon. The two Craigs enter the Trust Company's office just as the telephone rings, Lawyer Foster is on the wire and he says he will be right down. The secretary then turning to the two Craigs, asks if he can be of service. They immediately get down to business, meanwhile watching the hands of the clock as they slowly turn around. They introduce themselves as being the rightful heirs. At the critical moment Mary enters and asserts her rights. She receives her fortune and bids her friends a fond farewell.
