The man gets into the good graces of Enright, the heiress' old friend and trustee of her estate. Enright dislikes Bob Winters, Marguerite's sweetheart, and tries to get the girl to dismiss him. Bob owns an ancient coin which he uses as a pocket piece. Passing an old beggar, the boy gives him this coin by mistake. The following day, Bob finds his coin in the possession of Marguerite's butler. This man informs Bob that Dangler had given it to him. In an effort to get his rival out of the way, Dangler has two gangsters attack Bob. A policeman finds the unconscious young man and places him under arrest on a drunkenness charge. Marguerite comes to Bob's rescue, however, and the boy is released. The following day, Boy trails Dangler to an old shack out in the country. There he makes the astounding discovery that his rival and the old beggar are one and the same. He watches Dangler doff his natty clothes and get into the beggar's shabby costume. Together with Marguerite and a policeman, Bob suddenly confronts the beggar as he stands on a street corner. A sweep of Bob's hand and Dangler's disguise is swept off. Struggling furiously, the man is dragged away. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
