Tom's great failing is drink. At the wedding reception he indulges too freely and creates a scene accusing May of having jilted him in favor of George's money. Realizing that his chum is not in his right mind, George forgives him and the two continue their friendship, although George is disturbed at learning that May did actually encourage Tom. As a souvenir of the wedding, George gives Tom a handsome scarf pin. Later Tom learns that May and George are returning to town unexpectedly from a trip that was supposed to have lasted some time. He learns that May will be home that morning while George will not be home until that night. Being under the influence of liquor, Tom's brain recalls his old passion. He finds May alone in the house. May resents his advances but having gotten into the house, he refuses to leave. May hides from him. In searching for her, he goes upstairs. A fiendish idea takes bold of him. Removing the scarf pin from his tie, he lays it upon George's dressing table and goes back to the club. A few hours later George stops at the club to shake hands with the boys before going home. Tom, awakening from a drunken sleep, realizes what an awful thing he had done and tries to get to the house before George; but he fails. He knows that unless he recovers the pin, George is bound to discover it when he prepares to go to bed. Tom decides upon desperate measures. Entering the house through the kitchen window, he steals upstairs only to find the access to the bedroom blocked by May and George who are in the adjoining room talking. But the pin must be recovered; George must not find it. Tom returns downstairs, and deliberately sends a jardiniere crashing to the floor. George comes downstairs with a revolver to find the burglar. A chase through the house ensues. But Tom succeeds in recovering the pin, and making his escape, without being seen by George. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
