Banker Dorval is ruined by gambling. Thoughts of suicide are dispelled by the sight of his little daughter. At this trying moment a great temptation comes to him, as the telephone bell rings and by mistake he is connected with Lady Robert, who has asked Central for her jeweler, and when Dorval answers the ‘phone, asks him to call for her jewels to be repaired. He tries to secure them, but she becomes suspicious and discovers the fraud. He reveals his identity and implores her mercy and she finally allows him to depart. He has learned a lesson, however, and applies himself to his work and recoups, in a measure, his lost fortune. Some years later, as Lady Robert is coming out of church, Dorval’s daughter presents her with a huge bouquet, saying her father has commanded her to love Lady Robert, and as the father, with a courtly bow, salutes her, Lady Robert feels that her charitable act has not been in vain.
