William Jameson hires a detective named Bryce to look into a series of strange robberies at one of his stores. Guy Manse the store manager points suspicion toward Jack Kent a young clerk whose job includes opening and closing the safe. With Manse’s assistance the detective traps Kent and gathers evidence that appears to prove his guilt. Kent is arrested and sent to jail.
Only his sweetheart - Mary Ball - believes in his innocence. She is also aware that Manse desires her and begins to watch him carefully. One day she sees him accidentally drop a pawn ticket. She quickly memorizes the name and number on it before Manse retrieves it unaware that he has revealed the truth.
