The day the note falls due his creditor is injured in an automobile collision. Before Jason's death, the old man hastens to have the note renewed. He is told that Jason will live only as a cripple, and is too ill to be interviewed. He steals the note from Jason's desk, and falls into the power of Ezra Wilton, the butler, who has witnessed the theft. Wilton is a rogue. He persuades Ormison to use his daughter as a bait to lure Jason to ruin. Ormison signs an agreement to force Joy to divide the property at Jason's death. Knowing nothing of the conspiracy, the girl becomes Jason's secretary, and, later, his wife. After the honeymoon, the butler induces Jim Grogan, a crook, to put Jason out of the way. Grogan demands payment in advance. Wilton hands over the money, but accidentally drops the agreement upon the floor. Jason is attacked, but is saved by Joy after a struggle. Grogan escapes. Joy finds the incriminating paper, and learns that she has been a tool in the hands of bad men. Her bewilderment arouses Jason's suspicion. He secretly reads the agreement. Keeping the disclosure to himself, he parts coldly from his wife and goes to a hospital to be operated upon. The operation relieves him of his deformity. He returns home, pretending that he is still a cripple. Joy has gone out. Finding evidence that Wilton is at the bottom of the mystery, Jason finally confronts the butler and Ormison in the act of looting the desk fur a getaway. Astounded at his recovery to health, the pair are at his mercy. Jason kicks them out of the house. His hope for a happy future lies in Joy's innocence. He decides to test her. Hearing her footsteps, he drops into his invalid chair. He tells Joy that he has lost his fortune, and that she is no mate for a poverty-stricken cripple. Joy leaves him, as he had anticipated. But she returns. In her hands are her jewels, and the deed for the house he had given her. Jason looks into her eyes and comprehends. Then they had to begin the honeymoon all over again.
