Matters change ...See moreRose Peters, the daughter of a detective who believes there is no such thing as an excuse for crime, falls in love with her employer, William Brown. He devotes himself to her exclusively, despite the anger of her father. Matters change when Belle Waring is engaged to fill a position in his employ. Brown turns to the new beauty, ignoring the pleadings of his former charmer, who is becoming an object of derision to her fellow workers. Things come to a crisis when Rose enters the private office unexpectedly and finds Belle Waring in Brown's embrace. A stormy scene follows. Rose, in a frenzy, impulsively grabs a paper-knife and stabs her employer. Thinking him dead, she makes her escape from the office, but is seen by Edward Temple, a client. Rose arrives home just as her father receives detailed information from the Police Sergeant in his district of the Brown assault case. Rose begs her father not to take up the case, pleading for the unknown girl who was so cruelly wronged. In her excitement, Rose goes through the motions enacted when she stabbed Brown. Her father's suspicions are aroused, and when he goes to Brown's office as an officer of the law, he becomes convinced that his own daughter committed the crime. He is about to do his duty and arrest her when word reaches him from headquarters to drop the case. Brown, repentant and finding his wound is not fatal, has halted further investigation. He sends for Peters, confesses all, and the father returns home to his daughter with a glad heart. Brown's old love for Rose returns and he makes her his wife.
