Kathleen Dexter (Alice Lake) mourns her younger brother's death when he commits suicide after stealing $20,000 from his wealthy employer John Grannan (Albert Roscoe). Terry (George Stewart) kills himself when he mistakes the kindly millionaire's request to return the money as a certain jail sentence. Kathleen seeks revenge by going to work for John and having him fall in love with her without knowing she is Terry's brother. Kathleen plans her employers financial demise, and only on their wedding day does she reveal her identity to her new husband, who seeks to win her love in spite of her interference with his finances.
