Six years of sleuthing discovers nothing, and Burke reports to the chief that he is unable to capture the fugitive from justice. During the six years Watson has prospered, and with his wife and family settles in a quiet dignified neighborhood. The chief gives Burke another chance, telling him it is his last one. A clue leads the detective to the home of Watson, where he secures a position as butler. After months of service the detective becomes deeply infatuated with his employer's five-year-old daughter. His duty, however, takes an upper hand, and he is about to arrest Watson, when the young child pleads for her father, Burke removes the handcuffs and returns to his hotel, where he finds a telegram stating that Watson is innocent of the charge. Burke informs Watson and a happy ending is brought about.
