Hard-working insurance company bookkeeper John Carter, comes home Easter eve to his suburban cottage with a potted lily for his loving wife and two daughters. The Carters live happily until cashier Charles Ryder is murdered by the night watchman, a "coke sniffer" in need of money, and Carter is accused because he worked with Ryder that evening. During intense third-degree police questioning, Carter acts guilty, but cub reporter Ned Fowler, who loves Carter's daughter Helen, intervenes. After the watchman, arrested for fighting and in need of drugs, confesses, Carter is released, but insurance company president Ira Wolcott will not reinstate him because of his notoriety. During the next year, Carter fails to find work because of his age. As Easter approaches and his life insurance premium becomes due, Carter decides to kill himself in a gas-filled hotel room, so that his starving family can collect the insurance money. When Carter's little daughter Nellie strays into Wolcott's yard, Wolcott learns about Carter's plight and rescues him. Carter returns to work, and Helen becomes engaged to Ned.
