The two part when Carl refuses to work as a clerk to support Cynthia and his mother. Carl wants to live his own life but eventually becomes a bum. One day, he discovers that his sister has married a millionaire. When he visits Cynthia for help, she refuses on account of how he deserted her when she needed him the most. She gives him a hundred dollars out of pity and sends him on his way, which infuriates Carl. He comes up with a plan to switch places with her once he realizes that her husband has left his entire estate to her in his will...
