He sees an opportunity one day to steal money from the cash drawer, and hide his trail by making a false entry in the cash book of the cashier, John Forbes. The money thus gained, however, goes after that which has gone before. Returning from the gambling table, Ralph overhears Mr. Cullen send Forbes to the bank to get a check for $1,000 cashed. Ralph follows John as the latter starts for the bank. Coming to a secluded place in the woods, Ralph arms himself with a big stick, and, his face concealed by a large handkerchief, awaits the cashier. As John, on his way back to the office with the money, passes the place where Ralph is hiding, he receives a stunning blow which knocks him senseless. Ralph gets the money and fearful of having it found upon his person, hides it in a nearby ruin till he can with safety take it away again. He is seen, however, by an Indian whom he has ill-treated, and whom John has befriended, and after John leaves, the Indian gets the money. In the meantime, John and Ralph return by separate routes to the office, where they are employed, and John reports the theft. Mr. Cullen is suspicious and Ralph takes advantage to accuse John of having embezzled the money, and shows the false entries in the cash book which he himself had made. Mary Cullen, who is in love with John, is present and expresses her belief in the latter's innocence. Her father sends her home, while he investigates the situation. The sheriff is sent for and John is to be arrested. In the meantime the Indian has accidentally seen Mary and told her of the pocketbook and how he saw it hidden by Ralph. Mary quickly grasps the Indian's arm and hurries with him back to the office where the truth comes out, John is vindicated and Ralph gets what is coming to him.
