When he finds the secret service agents are on his trail he unloads the business on Everett Morgan, who does not suspect the character of the trade. Morgan is convicted and sent to prison. Ingram, who is infatuated with Heloise, Morgan's wife, then makes love to her. She suspects that he was the guilty man and openly encourages his love affair while working with the secret service agents, who also believe that he was really the guilty one, although the evidence pointed to Morgan. Heloise convinces Ingram she was glad to get rid of her husband and he finally is caught in her net and confesses his guilt. The secret service operators are placed in a room where they can hear all, and arrest him. He is sent to prison, while Morgan is set free.
