Grabem himself becomes enamored of the pretty stenographer, much to the disgust of his two clerks, who realize the difference between their lowly wages and the great wealth of their employer. Jabbs determines that if it is money and ability to buy expensive gifts that prevents him from winning Ethel's love, then he will, in some manner, secure the necessary riches. Late one night, while Ethel is out to dinner with Grabem, Pokes is working over his books in the counting room. Suddenly he is startled by a sound from the private office. Rushing inside he is confronted with a masked burglar, who, at the point of a gun, orders Pokes to help him open the vault. Against his will Pokes is forced to assist the crook, but once the vault is opened, Pokes pushes the burglar inside the vault and locks the door. Pokes calls for help, and Grabem, Ethel and the watchman rush into the office. At first they think that Pokes is the crook, and are about to arrest him, when he begs them to listen to his explanations. Telling Grabem to open the vault, Pokes drags the almost suffocated crook into the office, where, upon unmasking him, the group is shocked to see that the masked burglar is Jabbs. Overjoyed at Pokes' honesty and bravery, Grabem thrusts a huge sum of money upon his bewildered clerk, and Ethel, not to be outdone in generosity, coyly tells Pokes that now she is willing to be his forever, but after a few seconds of thought Pokes chooses. But which, ah, that is the question. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
