He conceals his disappointment and just before they part, he suggests that each man write on a slip of paper, to be put in the back of his watch, the words "Until we three meet again, Thursday, June 12th, ten years from today." The others agree. James grows more and more despondent over the loss of May, and his melancholia is intensified when he is invited to her wedding with Frank. Ten years later, James is reduced to abject poverty through drink, while Frank is on the road of prosperity. In a moment of desperation, James yields to the temptation to steal. Unknown to him, he singles out Frank's home. Just as he is about to break into the house. May, who is upstairs putting her little daughter to bed, hears the noise below and descends with pistol in hand. There is instant recognition on the part of James and he drops the pistol as Frank appears. Frank is in the act of tearing the mask from James' face when a plain clothes officer, in answer to May's telephone call, appears. He proves to be none other than Wynne. The three men pull out the slips of paper from their watch cases, and Frank holds a reunion dinner in his home. Abbott is given a high position in the brokerage office of Arthur's. A few days later Arthur's financial condition drives him to distraction. In order to bolster up his business, Frank makes daily visits to a gambling house, while May grieves more and more over the great change that has come over her husband. Finally she sends a pitiful note to James, asking him to call and advise her what to do. Shortly after James arrives, Frank enters the room, James is hidden behind the portieres by May as Frank goes upstairs to his wife's room. He extracts some of her jewels with the intention of cashing them. As he leaves the house, May requests James to follow him. His course leads him to a hotel outside of which he meets Detective Wynne. He tells him that Arthur is inside. The detective and his men break down the door. In the room they find Abbott trying to sell the jewels. At the thought of his impending imprisonment, Arthur is seized with heart failure and he drops dead upon the floor. James winds up the business affairs of Arthur and leaves the office with the personal papers for May. During the conference the old love, increased by the dejected appearance of May, surges up in James' heart, and on the impulse of the moment he asks May to let him fill Arthur's place. At first she refuses, but finally yields and accepts James' embrace. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
