Synopsis
Roy Wilson loses more money gambling than he receives in his liberal allowances from his father James, a consulting engineer, or than his sister Jessie can afford to lend to him. In return for the cancellation of his I.O.U., Roy agrees to give his father's competitor, Graham Madison, his father's bid for a railway contract. Wilson blames his secretary, Richard Carew, for the theft, as he refused to allow Carew to marry Jessie because of her young age, and dismisses him. Carew returns one night to meet Jessie clandestinely, and is seen leaving by a servant. That night, Roy, who is infatuated with Madison's discarded mistress Cleo, who likes to be given jewelry, takes his deceased mother's jewels from his father's safe. Wilson, who has a weak heart, sees Roy, and dies from the shock. Carew is accused of the theft, until Cleo refuses the jewels, and Roy returns, confesses and resolves to live better. Cleo, although she loves Roy, gives him up. Madison is arrested for other felonies, and Carew and Jessie look toward a happy future.
