Norma has a boy. Howard, who has no knowledge who his real father (Hope) is. Young Howard becomes a United States Secret Service Operator, and takes up the trail of the counterfeiters. Howard secretes himself in the den of the counterfeiters, but is discovered by them and when they learn that he is a Secret Service man, it is decided that he must die. Lots are drawn among the criminals and Harry Hope is selected as the executioner. By chance Hope discovers that Howard is his son. He releases him, surrenders his accomplices, blows up the counterfeiting plant with dynamite and perishes in the ruins.
