He was a man of high personal character and the prosperity of the banking institution was largely due to his personal popularity. The banker was anxious for his two sons to develop into successful businessmen; to satisfy himself about their capabilities, he gave each one a large sum of money. The older one promptly justified his father's faith by investing his money in real estate, but his younger brother purchased an expensive racing automobile. The father was deeply disappointed at his son's failure to demonstrate his business capacity, and the elder brother became his favorite. But the time soon came when the younger son's racing car proved to be a far more valuable investment than real estate, for it was the means of saving the banker's fortune. A false report that the bank was insolvent caused the depositors to clamor for their money. There was not enough money in the bank to pay them all off, so the younger son, getting into his automobile with his fiancée, raced off to a nearby city to secure funds to save the day. His elder brother, who was very jealous, telephoned to the police and tried to have him stopped before he could accomplish his errand, but the younger son triumphed over all obstacles and returned to the bank with the needed money. The older son's treachery was exposed, and his brother won the girl he loved. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
