Berry is approached by another broker, Stirling, with a proposition to secure a corner on a certain product through crooked manipulation of stock. Berry flatly refuses to enter the combine, and Stirling determines to cause the other man's ruin. His secretary, Morton, manages to secure a position in Berry's office and immediately the latter begins to lose heavily through the leak of information. Thinking that there may be a good story in the case, Carson takes it up. He finds out that Morton is in the employ of Stirling. That same night Stirling hires two cracksmen to steal from Berry's safe certain papers, while he and Morton wait in their office for the delivery of the goods. The yeggmen are discovered by Carson, who is unable, however, to overcome them both. Berry and his daughter chance to pass the office and see the light. They investigate. Carson's battle with the robbers attracts the attention of a policeman who arrives in time to help in subduing the crooks. Stirling calls up Berry's office on the 'phone and Carson, pretending to be one of the yeggmen, tells him that they have secured the stuff and will be right up. The Berrys, Carson and the police go in a body to Stirling's office, where he and Morton are placed under arrest. Mr. Berry changes his opinion about newspapermen.
