Plot Summary:Tom Roberts, working for a dishonest mining man, inherits $70,000. He plans immediate marriage with his sweetheart, Grace. Wallace, his employer, invites him to his home, where he meets Borden, a promoter, and Vivian, the weak-willed but beautiful daughter of the mining man. She fascinates Tom and he calls again. Meanwhile Grace's mother is sick. Grace writes Tom that she is leaving for Boston. Time goes by and, as Wallace intercepts Grace's letters, Tom hears nothing from her and imagines she has forgotten him. Borden endeavors to sell him some worthless stock but the young fellow fights shy. Wallace determines to get him through his daughter and to this end, while Tom and Vivian are dining at Meadowbrook Inn, he has his chauffeur steal Tom's car. They are marooned for the night Tom stays at a neighboring farmhouse until the morning. As he is inquiring after Vivian at the inn, the father enters, and, assuming an outraged and angry attitude, tells Tom he shall either invest his fortune as he dictates and marry his daughter or he will expose the occurrence to the world. Trapped in the snare and partly fascinated by the girl's charms, Roberts decides to marry Vivian. Meanwhile Grace's mother dies and the girl returns and inquires at the office for Tom. She is told by Wallace that the young fellow is engaged to his daughter and she leaves, brokenhearted. The next morning Tom reads in the paper that the mine in which he has invested his money is a gigantic swindle. He accuses Wallace and the girl. They only laugh at him. Beaten and in despair he turns from the house. Three months pass. Tom, an outcast and tramp, is sitting on a park bench when his old sweetheart passes. There is a joyful reunion and Grace brings the sick and starving man to her poorly furnished room. Shortly after this the scheming promoter receives word that the mine has really struck ore and he tells Tom that he will buy back his shares for 10 percent of what he paid. Duped and discouraged, Tom gives Grace the stock and she goes to Wallace's office. While waiting, the breeze from an electric fan blows a telegram from the desk, stating that the Apollo Mine has struck ore. Realizing the game in a flash, she seizes the telegram, places a few scraps of paper in an envelope and gives them to Wallace. He eagerly hands her a check. Afterwards he discovers his loss and, enraged, rushes to the house where Grace is nursing her sweetheart. She calmly shows him the telegram and while Wallace returns, beaten and disgusted, Tom and Grace are folded in each other's arms.
