Detectives Wallace and West are assigned to the case. The officers secure a room underneath Fleece's office. By installing a vocaphone in the swindler's office they are enabled to overhear all that transpires. Fleece induces Maud, the clerk at the cigar stand in the building, to purchase some of his stocks. Coleman, her sweetheart, urges Maud to demand the return of her money. The girl, however, insists that the stocks are valuable. Coleman later enters Fleece's office and orders the man to return the money he has mulcted from Maud. The swindler sneers at him and a fight ensues. Coleman is driven from the office at the point of a revolver. The vocaphone transmits the voices of the men to the detectives downstairs. Meanwhile, Maud learns from a prominent financier that Fleece has robbed her. The girl hastens to the swindler's office and demands her money back. Instead, Fleece seizes her in his arms. Maud struggles. Her hand brushes the revolver lying on the desk. She picks up the weapon. In the struggle the revolver is fired. Fleece falls to the floor. Coleman hears the shot and learns of what has occurred. He compels Maud to leave the office. Wallace and West have failed to listen to Maud's argument with Fleece, but come running up at the sound of the shot. Coleman stands over Fleece, pistol in hand. The young man declares that he has shot the man. Maud listens at the door and realizes the sacrifice her lover intends to make. She rushes into the room and declares her guilt. Fleece is dying. With the knowledge that his end is at hand, the man calls the officers to his side and confesses that Maud shot him in self-defense. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
