Speeding on their way the taxi breaks down. David Burton, a friend, loans Carter his car. Carter thanks Burton, and says he hopes to repay. Burton now in financial trouble, comes to his friend Carter for assistance, which he refuses, giving as his reason that he has recently purchased for his wife a very costly pearl necklace, which he shows to Burton. That night, while he is contemplating his position, Burton takes from his pocket ten shares of railroad stock, when he replaces them he considers their apparent worthlessness. He gives way to a sudden impulse to return to Carter's house and steal the pearls. He enters the Carter library through the window and takes the pearls. At this moment, Mrs. Carter, returning from a reception, enters the room and confronts Burton. He confesses and returns the jewels to her, explaining why he took them. She is trying to persuade Burton to take the pearls when Henry Carter is heard approaching. She tells Burton to hide. Her husband enters the room, sees Burton's hat on the table and asks his wife to whom it belongs. Perry, the butler, steps forward and politely says the hat belongs to him. Carter sees the stocks which Burton has dropped and asks Perry if they are his. Perry says "Yes." These are the shares which Carter needs to get complete control of the J. & O.R.R. He offers Perry $50,000 for them. Perry accepts and Carter hastens from the room to telephone his partners. Burton comes from his hiding place, thanks Mrs. Carter and is about to leave when Perry steps into the room and gives Burton his hat and the endorsed check for $50,000.
