The son had well nigh broken the old millionaire's heart by his extravagances, while the niece was all that any man could desire. After many attempts to reform the son, the millionaire finally made his will leaving everything to the niece and urging her to do what she could to reform the son. The document was drawn in the office of a lawyer and it happened that his clerk was a friend of the son. The clerk saw the chance to make some money and proposed to the son that the will be suppressed. The son accepted, the clerk acted and when the millionaire died the lawyer could not find any will, although he had carefully deposited it in his own safe. Under the circumstances the son inherited everything and the niece was turned out into the world. One of the servants, who dearly loved the niece, was the old housekeeper, and although she loathed her new master she remained at her post, being convinced that there had been crooked work and declaring that she will expose him. Fortune played in her favor and the plucky old woman recovered the document in an extremely novel way. She turned it over to the lawyer at his suburban home and was followed by the crooks who were, however, unable to overtake her. During the night they tried to steal the document from the house, but the lawyer was alert. In the shuffle that ensued a lighted lamp was upset and the house was soon in flames. A brave fireman came to the rescue, however, and managed to save the will, which turned the good niece into a wealthy woman and made the reckless son dependent upon her bounty.
