His fond father watches his son's character with sorrow more than anger in his heart. Harry mixes with a crowd of gamblers and loses money. At last in a big game he loses every cent, and upon drawing a check is advised by the bank that there are no funds. His situation is desperate. Meanwhile John Marten, a hard-working bank clerk, is forced out of employment by his firm's failure. He is evicted from his room, and he wanders to a park opposite the home of Edna Horton's friend. The crowd of mischievous girls in Edna's home decided to fool him with an empty wallet. While he is asleep they place a pocketbook beside him. Upon awakening he goes through the wallet and finding Mr. Horton's card therein decides to return it. While waiting in the parlor of the Horton home he sees Harry sneak in and attempt to open the safe. He springs upon him and when Mr. Horton appears, Harry accuses Marten of being a thief. Suspicious of his son's integrity, the father apparently leads Marten to the police station, but the next morning upon entering the office the son is confronted with the supposed thief. The ruse works and upon bended knees Harry Horton begs his father's forgiveness for his weak character and deceit. His gambling mania cured he settles down in earnest to gaining his father's respect while Marten is engaged as a trusted clerk. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
