One of his victims was the washerwoman of Mona and Mary, and their sympathy for her plight later turns to a desire for revenge on Gerry when the young millionaire roughly refuses to aid her. Gerry, making a pretense of "settling down to business," has opened offices as an architect. Mona awakens his interest by posing as a wealthy girl interested in the erection of a bungalow. Later, through a well-planned "accident" they become acquainted with Mary and her supposed father, Deering, posing as a telegraph company employee. Gerry's unscrupulous cupidity makes him an easy victim for a scheme to make large sums of money by using advance knowledge of the racing results which Deering is supposed to receive. The suspense is increased steadily in a series of strong incidents that ends with Gerry musing over a sternly-taught lesson and the washerwoman happy in the return of her money.
