- A young man discovers he is connected with a swindling concern. He resigns, goes to the country and meets the daughter of one of his victims. Later he pays off all of the company's indebtedness through his own efforts.
- Influenced by older and less scrupulous men, John Blair is led into a get-rich-quick scheme, which, while within the law, brings heavy loss to many. Among the desperate stockholders, who besiege the company's office upon the first rumors of fraud, Blair is deeply impressed by the bearing of a fine-looking old man, whose quiet dignity cannot conceal his despair. But time dulls Blair's remorse and one year later. In an entirely untroubled frame of mind, he is motoring along the country roads, when an attack of speed mania lands him unconscious at the foot of an embankment. When he regains consciousness, he finds himself in the humble home of Rev. William Gray, sedulously attended by Mrs. Gray and Anne, her pretty granddaughter. The inevitable happens. Fascinated by Anne's charming simplicity, Blair falls head over heels in love and protracts his stay beyond the necessary limits of convalescence. During an automobile ride with Anne an incident occurs which reawakens his sleeping conscience. He determines, before asking her to become his wife, to make reparation to those he has wronged. He goes to the city and makes arrangements to that effect with his banker. Returning to Anne, he proposes and is accepted. The same day, Dr. Gray, who has been attending a conference, returns home. Overflowing with happiness, Anne introduces her fiancé. To Blair's horror, he recognizes in Anne's grandfather the old man who had so impressed him a year ago. The recognition is mutual. The keenly developed spiritual insight of his calling teaches Dr. Gray that Blair's character is not without worth. With singular forbearance he refrains from telling Anne his discovery. Blair sacrifices his private fortune to reimburse the stockholders and all ends happily.—Moving Picture World synopsis
