He is liked by all, but the fact that he keeps his business a secret and associates with "Old Man Weaver," a suspected murderer, brings criticism down upon him. In spite of the mystery which seems to surround the young man, he is loved by Dolly Fraser, much to the chagrin of Charley Bratton, one of her most ardent admirers. One day, while out hunting, Bratton sees Ellicott give "Old Man Weaver" some money. Bratton immediately hurries to Dolly with the information that Ellicott has been having transactions with a suspected criminal. Dolly refuses to believe him, despite the circumstances which seem to put Ellicott in the wrong. The next afternoon, Ellicott meets Phyllis, Dolly's young sister. She climbs a tree for a bird's nest and he leaves her to go home alone, as he has a dinner engagement. Here the plot begins to develop, for Bratton engages a couple of crooks to kidnap Dolly's sister and also to waylay Ellicott, the idea being to make Dolly think her young sister Phyllis has been abducted by Ellicott. After a series of thrilling incidents during which there is a mob scene, "Old Man Weaver" rescues Phyllis from the hands of two ruffians. Ellicott escapes and everything ends happily. The mysterious business of Ellicott is cleared up when it is made known that he and "Old Man Weaver" have discovered a substitute for putty, and the money which Bratton saw pass between them was to finance the deal.
