The next day D and Q starts to go up and continues to advance. Jim sees that they have made a winning. He rushes into Elmer's office to tell him that they have cleared at least $10,000, only to discover that Elmer has neglected to buy the stock. Jim reproaches Elmer for his mistake, and Elmer flies into a rage and insists on dissolving partnership at once. Jim tries to reason with him but Elmer leaves and refuses to return. Elmer opens an office for himself and fails. Jim offers to help him financially and asks him to return to his old office, but Elmer refuses. Jim takes his nephew, Billie, to the beach and while watching him swim in the surf, he plans with the lifeguard to make Billie think he (Jim) is about to drown. Jim enters the water and when Billie hears his call for help he tries to make the life guard rescue him. The guard refuses and says he cannot swim. Billie runs into the water and rescues his uncle. After Jim revives (?) he tells Billie that he is going to reward him. Elmer and his wife think that Billie has met with an accident and rush to Jim's office where they meet Jim and Billie. Jim tells of Billie's rescue, and pleads with Elmer to return for the sake of his wife and Billie, showing him that his name is still on the door and that his office is still the same. Elmer finally relents and enters his old office. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
