Joe repays Arthur for saving his life by attempting to make love to his wife. Arthur learns of this and, by a chance, tragedy is averted. Some time later, when Arthur is badly wounded, Joe again attempts to force his attentions on the wife. She repulses him bitterly. The doctor arrives and calls for a glass of brandy for the wounded man. Joe manages to pour a few drops of poison into the glass. His act is seen by the little daughter, Janie, who mimics him. The result is two poisoned glasses, Janie being interrupted as she is about to drink a sip of the brandy. Arthur’s head is being propped up to allow him to drink the brandy. In the other room Joe is awaiting developments. Carelessly he picks up the glass into which Janie poured the poison, fills it and drinks. Arthur is about to be given the drink in the other room when a sudden noise frightens Edythe and he drops the glass. Joe, supposedly a suicide, is found in the other room.
