By his side kneels Mary, his daughter, and near the bed is Mr. Stafford, his best friend, and Stafford's son. Just before he dies, Shaw shows to the group assembled about his bed his will, leaving everything he possesses to his daughter unless she should die before reaching the age of 21, under which circumstances his wealth shall go to Stafford, the executor of his will and Mary Shaw's guardian. Shortly after Shaw's death Stafford is ruined on the stock market, and the only chance he can see of recouping his fortune is through the marriage of his son with Mary. To this Mary objects strenuously, as she has a little love affair of her own, but the love of gold has so eaten into the heart of Stafford that he stops at nothing, and by a ruse separates the lovers and persuades Mary that he is going to take her away to a quiet country place where she can forget her unhappy love affair. Instead she is taken to a lunatic asylum and incarcerated there. This, however, does not get him the money, so Stafford plans her death. Fortunately, this is overheard by a nurse, who gives the alarm to Mary, who escapes by means of a rope. Getting the police, they return, entering the room suddenly, just in time to see Stafford, his son and the head of the asylum attempting to stab what they believe is the form of Mary asleep in her bed.
