- Jim Wilson, searching for work, sees "Flinty'" O'Neal, a crook, take a dollar bill away from Pierre, a crippled beggar. Wilson, after a struggle with O'Neal, rescues the beggar's stolen bill. Burns, a wealthy contractor, has seen Wilson rush to the rescue of the cripple, and rewards Wilson with a position in the Burns company. Jared Keeney, head clerk for Burns, and a sneak, resolves to plot against Wilson and secure his discharge, for he is jealous of the young man, and of the advancement Wilson wins for himself in Burns' office. He tells Burns that he suspects Jim Wilson of being a crook. Burns is confident that Jim is straight. However, he marks several bills and placing them in the safe awaits developments. Keeney abstracts several of the bills for his own use, not knowing they are marked. He places the balance in Wilson's coat pocket, denounces him as a thief, and has the satisfaction of seeing Burns convinced that Jim Wilson is crooked. En route home that night, Keeney purchases a cigar and pays for it with one of the marked bills. Burns, entering the cigar store at that juncture, recognizes the money as some that he marked, and has Keeney jailed for the real thief. Jim Wilson is exonerated and made chief clerk, and the little ones at the Wilson home and his wife are rewarded for many hardships that they have encountered.—Moving Picture World synopsis
