Flames of Treachery

James Ford, the western representative of a big concern, receives word that M. Hatton, a clerk, is coming and that he shall be given a desk. Ford, who has been carrying on some, crooked work, treats the new clerk with scant courtesy. Working in the office is Ruth Chalmers, and Ford makes love to her. One day she notices Ford pouring some liquid over the papers in the wastebasket. He then sends them all from the room. Ruth, returning, notices smoke coming from the keyhole and sends in an alarm. When the men rush into the place it is found that some of the books have been destroyed. Ruth tells Hatton about the liquid. That night Ford asks Ruth to work; she dares not refuse. Hatton comes back to the office to find Ruth fighting for her honor. Ford is angry, and discharges Ruth, telling Hatton that the head office will take care of him. Taking some marked bills from the safe, he places them in Hatton's desk and then brings the officers to arrest him. Hatton then causes the arrest of Ford, for Hatton is the head of the concern and has found the evidence of fraud that they sought.
