He invites her and her father, John Tomes, to dinner at his home. Tomes surreptitiously appropriates a rare volume of Boccaccio from Ryder's library. Mildred detects her father's deed and seeks to return the book. Ryder surprises her in his library and accuses her of theft and threatens her with arrest unless she accepts his attentions. A struggle follows in which he falls on a steel spindle and dies. Thomas North, his secretary and Mildred's sweetheart, is accused of murder. North suspects the truth but faces death rather than betray his fiancée. As the shadow of the gallows draws near him, however, Mildred confesses her part in the tragedy. All are exonerated.
