On the day before the sale he visits the grave of his wife and before his vision past the many happy events of their married life. While he is dreaming the real estate man brings some prospective purchasers to see the place. Morgan cannot stand this invasion of the spot so sacred to him and orders them from the premises. The next day the place is sold and Morgan is forced to leave. His colored servants feel this keenly, and old Peter tells Morgan that if only he could find the jewels which Mrs Morgan had hidden when the northern army invaded the town it would enable him to repurchase the old plantation. Meantime, with the money obtained from the sale, Morgan goes to the city. "Smooth" McGuire, a confidence man, notices the roll of money and with a confederate of his frames up a deal to sell Morgan a street car. They showed the old man many passengers riding on the cars and point out that it would be a lucrative investment. Old Morgan buys the car, but soon learns that he had simply given his money to the stranger. A kindly policeman gives him sufficient money to return to the old homestead. Old Peter, while plowing the fields, has discovered the jewels and with the money obtained from the sale of them Colonel Morgan is enabled to buy back the old plantation, although the present owners are loathe to part with it and only do so when Peter threatens to establish a colored church on the adjoining Plantation.
