  • Plot: Lucy, secretary to the owner of a department store, is flattered by the attentions of her employer's son, Tom. The latter, pressed for funds to meet a gambling debt, induces Lucy to open the safe and allow him to borrow sums of money which be promises to return next day, but he does not state that his only hope of doing so is by winning at cards. However, he wins and returns the money. Regretting her indiscretion, Lucy tells Tom she will have nothing more to do with him. Later, Tom is again in desperate need of money and appeals to Lucy, but is refused. He remembers the combination of the safe, opens the door and forces from Lucy the key to the inner door, which enables him to secure the cash box. Rosa, a little cash girl, who is very fond of Lucy, enters during the struggle for the key and being too frightened to render assistance, she leaves, unobserved by Lucy and Tom. The next day Lucy is accused and having promised to shield Tom she refuses to give an explanation. Blair, the manager of the store, who has been an ardent suitor for Lucy's hand, declares that he is guilty. Lucy pleads with Tom to confess and vindicate her lover, but the young coward refuses. The owner of the store enters and is about to order the arrest of Blair when Rosa, the cash girl, who has heard the altercation, enters the room and tells her story. Heartbroken, the owner of the store takes his son home. He starts to reprimand but concludes that it is hopeless. Tom comes to a sodden realization of his worthlessness and renounces his former associates who have been responsible for his downfall. We see that he keeps his word and Lucy finds happiness with the faithful Blair.
