The Missing Bonds (1913)
Henry Withers, the confidential clerk of Archibald Langdon, a banker, pays court to his employer's daughter, Kathryn, who does not suspect that her suitor is secretly an unscrupulous gambler who hopes to recoup his losses through the marriage. Robert Randolph, a young businessman, brings a number of bonds to the Langdon office, where they are left as security. While transacting the business, Randolph meets Kathryn who calls on her father and he is quite impressed with her. When Kathryn loses a valuable necklace which she is taking to be repaired. Randolph finds it and answering her advertisement, renews the acquaintance. Withers sees the young couple together and informs Langdon, who forbids Randolph from visiting the house. The young people decide to elope with the assistance of some friends but their plans are frustrated by Withers and Langdon and Randolph is again humbled. Randolph, suspecting Withers' true character, one evening follows him to a gambling resort and sees him secure a loan on the bonds which have been left in the Langdon office as security. He secretly recovers them from the proprietor by making good the amount of Withers' loan and next morning he falls for his property. Consternation reigns when it is found that the bonds are missing. When quietness is restored, Randolph extracts the bonds from his pocket and exposes Withers' crime. Angered at his clerk's dishonor, Langdon orders his arrest, and extends a friendly hand to Randolph.
