A shortage is discovered in the accounts of John Hill, a young bank cashier. The president of the bank agrees to give him three days' time in which to make good the shortage. John confides in his young wife, May, and telling her that he will surely find the money somewhere, leaves the house. During his absence, Hastings, a young reporter, interviews May about her husband's reported shortage. He is somewhat successful in obtaining from her a confession that the rumor is true, but while doing so, he becomes so interested in the plucky young woman, and so sorry for her unhappiness, that he decides to suppress the story for her sake. The husband decides, after failing to raise the money, that he will pretend to have committed suicide and thus evade arrest. He leaves his clothes, with a note telling of his intended suicide, on a wharf at the water's edge. Here they are discovered by the young reporter, who undertakes to break the news to John's widow. After five years the young reporter wins May for his bride. On the day of their wedding John, who has now become a tramp, is attracted to the house where the ceremony is to take place. Hearing of the many rich gifts which the bride has received, he enters the house through a cellar window, and goes upstairs to the room where the presents are. Here, unseen by them, he witnesses a love scene between the young reporter and his (John's) wife. Stunned by this revelation, and realizing that he is better out of the way, he once more starts to remove himself from their lives, but finding it impossible to escape by the way he entered, he attempts to leave by the second story window, falls to the ground and is killed. Here Hastings, the young reporter, finds him. He has the body quietly carried away and, returning, leads May a happy bride to the altar, blissfully ignorant of the tragedy in which she figures.
