A baby is born to the couple and Robert hopes this will soften his father's heart, but his letter is returned unopened. Several years elapse, and the couple faces hard times when Robert loses his job. His wife resolves to go to work; scanning the "Help Wanted" columns, she sees Robert's father's ad for a stenographer and secures the position under her maiden name. One night she is compelled to work late and Robert and their daughter go to the office to call for her. The child wanders into the vault and is accidentally locked in by Mrs. Tyler. Robert's father is the only one who has the combination, and he calls him. He is unable to talk to his father, however, for hearing his son's voice, the old man promptly hangs up the receiver. In a frenzy, he dashes off to his father's house. The father tries to elude his son, but is grasped by the shoulders and thrown into a chair, while the younger man forces him to listen. Horrified, the old man orders his auto and rushes to the office, where the girl is released and where she brings about a reconciliation between her grandfather and father. Written by
