Moderate merits

A western story that has moderate merits. Fred Church plays the masculine lead acceptably. The story is of a young man who, to save the honor of his father-in-law, shoulders the blame of a discrepancy in the accounts of the express office run by the father-in-law. Later he is exonerated, through the discovery of the lost bank notes under the floor of the building, where they had accidentally fallen. - The Moving Picture World, April 3, 1915

Frederick Church is a clerk in the employ of an express company and is secretly married to the manager's daughter. While the young folks are trying to make up their minds to tell their secret, a shortage is discovered in the manager's cash. The amount is .$2,000, and the visiting inspector takes the manager's protestations of innocence with the proverbial grain of salt. Exposure and prosecution is hanging over the old man's head, when Fred determines to sacrifice himself to save the father of the woman he loves. He establishes his guilt by a precipitate flight and finally gains the comparative safety of a Nevada gold field. After months of weary toil, Fred strikes a rich lead and finds himself a wealthy man, not only in gold, for he receives word that his wife had given birth to a boy. This message makes him oblivious of his own peril and soon he is speeding back to the old home. His arrival is coincident with a return visit from the inspector, the latter sees a small boy emerging from beneath the foundation of the building grasping a baseball which he has recovered, and also a package of bills which the youngster has discovered beneath the building. The eye of the inspector is quick to recognize the missing money, and he enters the office to find Fred and Lillian in each other's arms with grandpa fondling the baby. The missing money is restored and its theft placed to the charge of the real thief, the dog of a customer, who, seeing the package of bills on the floor where they had fallen from the safe, carried them to a hiding place beneath the office.
