One day a banker from the city comes along, sees the wife and is infatuated with her. He persuades the farmer's wife to leave with him for the city. The old farmer comes in the house and finds a note which she has left, saying that she is going to divorce him and marry the banker. The old farmer vows that he will trace and find them in order to be avenged. Later there is a murder committed. A policeman on the beat imagines that he hears a scuffle. He looks at the clock in the tower and sees that it is 11:30. He hears no more of the noise of the scuffle, and thinks he must have been mistaken. The next day the same policeman is standing on a corner talking to one of the detectives from the central station, when the old farmer rushes madly up to him and says that the banker has been killed. Thereupon the detective goes and investigates the case. He calls the coroner and presents evidence that the lover of the old farmer's daughter, who is now grown to womanhood, is the guilty party, he having been seen with a poker in his hand by the housemaid. Also suspicion is thrown upon the butler by the detective finding a button from the coat belonging to the butler. The coroner orders the butler and the lover held for the murder. The detective decides to look further into the case and investigates the spot where the murder took place, and finds upon the ground the imprint of a man's hand, which looks as though it had got there by a man putting his hand out to save himself in falling. The little finger in the imprint upon the ground shows that that finger was mangled in some manner. The detective takes these findings into the house and begins to examine the hands of those suspected of the murder, and finds that they are not the parties who made the print upon the ground. He then goes out to examine the body of the banker and finds that neither of his hands has a mangled finger. The old farmer comes through the arch from the living room of the house, and the detective asks him for a match, with which to light his cigar. He then notices that the owner of the mangled finger is the old man. This clears the name of the lover and of the butler, and the old farmer, who had been failing in health for a number of years after the death of his wife, is suddenly attacked by a git of coughing, and his life passes out.
