They get married, and are one of the "few" couples in this world who do not "live happily ever after." He tries to keep her love, and she to wreck his credit. He can't keep her love without losing his honor, so he chooses to lose his honor. He "borrows" a large sum of money from the bank in which he is cashier, risks it on a long-shot in a horse race, and wins. He then plays the stock market, and wins again. But the bank examiners are coming in the morning and the borrowed money must be returned to the locked vault before daylight. The girl has a brother who was once "shady," but has since beaten his way back to decency. They play HIM, and win again. But the brother doesn't win. He has to kill a man to save his sister's and her husband's names, and he again becomes a fugitive from justice. Forced by the vigilance of the law to live undercover, he gets his living by night in the easiest way. But they finally get him. His obvious guilt is undeniable. His dream of honor finds its fulfillment in a criminal's cell. The other two are left to the torture of their accusing consciences. Who Pays? Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
