Nellie is a maid employed in the home of Captain Ronaldson. She is loved by John, the butler. She returns his love, but does not show it forcibly. She receives a letter from her sister, informing her that she is in need of money, as the doctor has ordered her to go to a different climate. Nellie yields to temptation and at an opportune moment steals. The theft is discovered almost immediately. Captain Ronaldson sends for a detective and he questions the help. The detective searches everyone who was in the house at the time. In a moment of desperation Nellie slips the money into John's pocket. He feels it. She looks at him beseechingly, and he is placed in the strange predicament of either sacrificing the girl he loves or going to jail himself. He selects the latter course. When the detective finds the money, he confesses to the theft, and is arrested. John is tried, convicted, and sentenced to two years in jail. Nellie resolves to save him. She takes the balance of the money, writes a letter with it, saying that it was she and not John who stole the money and enclosing the other half of what was stolen. This she places on Captain Ronaldson's desk. The captain's dog comes in to the room and takes the envelope in his mouth, a trick the captain had taught him. He secretes it in the outhouse. A year passes. Nellie secures another position. Later, the captain is walking with the dog, when the dog leads him to the outhouse. He reads it astonished, and secures John's release. Later, John meets Nellie by accident. His love still the same, he insists upon her forgetting his deed in going to jail for her and insists upon marrying her.
