Mary loves Dick Livingston and that she is loved in return plainly displeases the father who orders the young suitor from the house. Clandestine meetings are planned, but soon they come to the attention of the irate father and both are ordered to leave. After her marriage to Dick, she sends an appeal to the father for forgiveness. The enraged father flies into a frenzy and endeavors to destroy anything that would remind him of his daughter. Time rolls on and many circumstances and happenings enter into the unhappy life of Mary. A boy was born to the humble and heartbroken wife. Mary's appeal to her relentless father avail her naught, but added suffering. Dick, Jr., is a bright, intelligent and industrious son. Just entering upon his career in the busy world, being associated with one of the great daily publications, opportunity at last comes to the son to fulfill the vow of vengeance sworn at the deathbed of his poor unhappy mother. He is assigned on an important case involving suspected bribery, and in the supposedly secure rooms of a great hotel, the transaction that Dick is enabled to see through the keyhole of an adjoining room and later the securing of the actual proof of the transaction by exchanging clothes with the waiter, who had been summoned from the buffet with refreshments; the desired information gained a hurried 'phone message to his editor and preparations are at once made to hold the press until the greatest sensation and a surprise to the journalistic and political world was edited and in the form, Darrow is apprised of the coming appearance of the story, and is desperate, but it is too late. Young Dick Livingston had a debt to pay and revenge was the only asset that could liquidate the obligation and he fought it to that end as stubbornly as the crest-fallen father once did against the pleadings of his only daughter.
