Synopsis
At a wild surprise party John Hammond signs a note for his struggling friend, architect Richard Burton, but later denies his presence at the affair in order to preserve his reputation. Richard consequently is tried for forgery and deserted by all save Betty Hammond, his sweetheart and John's sister. John confesses to his lie just as the jury is about to deliberate, thus exonerating Richard.
