Arnold Roberts, an adventurer, sees the advertisement and, being slightly acquainted with Walter, asks that the position be given a friend of his who is in need of work. Walter goes and Belle Thorne, an accomplice of Arnold's is given the position. Later, when Arnold plans to enter Walter's home and secure the Hanford jewels, he tells Belle that he will require her assistance. Belle, however, has fallen in love with Walter and refuses to aid in the robbery. Arnold then threatens to tell Walter that Belle was his mistress unless she obeys him. Rather than have this happen. Belle admits Arnold into the home at the appointed time. Walter discovers Arnold at the robbery, while Belle watches outside. A struggle follows, during which the mask is torn from Arnold's face. He recognizes Arnold just before he receives a blow which knocks him senseless and Arnold escapes with the jewels. Outside, he tells Belle that Walter has been killed, and she flees with him. Walter recovers, but to save Belle, gives a different account of the robbery to the newspapers, stating that Belle came to his aid, but was carried away by his assailants. Meanwhile, Arnold and Belle, to escape from recognition, go to the seashore, steal a boat, change their clothes and land at a point on the coast, where they allow themselves to be rescued and tell their rescuer that they are the sole survivors of a shipwreck. Old Ben, their rescuer, takes them to his home and accepts their story. Later, however, a copy of the newspaper giving an account of the robbery falls into his hands. Belle's picture identifies her, and he immediately writes to Walter that both Belle and Arnold are in the village with him. Walter comes to the village but does not make his presence known. Instead, he shadows Belle and Arnold and overhears enough of Belle's talk with Arnold, when she refuses to marry him, to know that she has been forced into the course she follows. Arnold threatens Belle who leaves him. Walter, hiding behind the rocks on the cliff, calls to Arnold and accuses him of the murder. Frightened as Walter appears and, believing him to be a ghost of his victim. Arnold backs over the edge of the cliff and falls into the sea below. Walter returns to Old Ben's cottage, where he finds Belle, who has gone to Old Ben to make a confession and ask his aid. He and Belle are reunited and together return to the city to Walter's mother.
