Synopsis
Casey, a traffic cop, rescues a wealthy girl, the ward of her millionaire uncle, a banker, when her horse runs away with her in the park. The girl's uncle embezzles funds from his own bank, but throws suspicion for the crime on Casey's brother, a teller at the bank. When the girl overhears her uncle's plot, she warns Casey's brother so that he may escape, then tells Casey, who helps her in giving her uncle the slip. Casey finds his brother's diary, which reveals that a bank cashier and the uncle embezzled the funds and conspired to cast suspicion on the teller. After donning a disguise, Casey draws the uncle into his hotel room and shows him the diary. The uncle offers to buy the diary for $5000, but Casey throws off his disguise and arrests him. The thieving cashier is apprehended and once the girl recovers her money, she agrees to marry Casey.
