A well-known physician advises a warmer climate, but Rock has been unable to get ahead enough to take the necessary trip. The doctor insists that the change is imperative. The privilege of advancing money to employees has been abused and the company has issued a drastic order refusing to advance money under any consideration. William sees his wife's anxiety for the little girl and decides to make an appeal to the head of the firm. He does so and the manager tells him that they cannot make an exception in anyone's case. William is heartbroken, and that night when he returns home, he finds that the child is much worse. To ease his wife's mind he tells her that he has a friend who has promised to let him have the money the next day. The little child, hearing the discussion, writes a little note to God, begging Him to arrange for the trip. That night William finds the note tightly clasped in her hand. The appeal strikes him to the heart and he determines to get the money if he has to go to jail for it. It is part of William's daily duties to carry the deposit to the bank. The next day the cashier delivers to him the portfolio containing the money and he conceals it among his clothes. He stops at a 'phone booth and tells his wife that they can start the next day. He turns up a deserted looking alley, and is attacked by two thugs, who take the portfolio from him. The attack is witnessed by several people and a crowd soon gathers. William is taken back to the store and all gather about him. The portfolio is missing, but the manager discovers the money in William's pocket, and when he comes to, he thinks that his plot has been discovered. He hears the manager telling someone that William's forethought was very good, and that his hiding the money has saved it for the firm. As an expression of thanks, the manager gives William $500 and William hurries home to tell the good news to his wife and daughter. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
