Learn more- Morgan Green, teller, and Frank Case, cashier, are both in love with Lillian, the daughter of the bank president. Edward Manley. She loves Morgan and promises to marry him, and while Manley is in favor of him, still he counsels them to wait until Morgan has a better position. Frank thinks there is a chance for him. One day Frank, in revenge, tampers with a bundle of bank notes which are sent in for a factory payroll and leaves Morgan's knife beside the bundle. Later Morgan is accused of theft, and, while he denies it, the evidence is so strong that he is thought guilty. Through the pleadings of Lillian, who believes him innocent, Morgan is only dismissed from the bank, and he leaves for a ranch town nearby. Left with a clear field, Frank ingratiates himself with Manley. When the bank commissioners deliver the ultimatum that unless the capital of the bank is increased it will have to close its doors, Manley accepts the proffered aid of Frank. He then persuades Lillian that, through a sense of obligation, she should accept him as a husband. She finally consents, though she still loves Morgan. Fred Rose, a bank messenger in the firm, knew of Frank's act in connection with the stolen bank notes. Threatening him with exposure, Fred compels Case to give him a vacation. He goes with his invalid sister to the same town in which Morgan is staying. Soon after ,the latter rescues the little sister from a runaway at risk of his own life. Fred feels that he must tell Morgan of Frank's act and does so. It is now about noon, and the marriage of Frank and Lillian is to take place in three hours. With much evading of constables and farmer deputies, they at last reach the Manley home just in time to stop the wedding. A few hours later a wedding takes place in which Lillian and Morgan are the principals.
