Upon finding out his faithless wife has died, millionaire Bide Bennington decides that it is time to return to New York from abroad. He arrives on Christmas Eve, and confronted by his desolate, empty home, decides to continue traveling across the continent. After he leaves, a robber breaks into Bennington's house and steals his fur coat and wallet. The burglar is then ambushed by thugs, who kill him and throw his body into the river. When the coat is found by the pier and Bennington is presumed dead, the thug's leader, Richard Glendon conceives a plan. Glendon approaches Constance Brent and threatens to expose her father, an escapee from a English prison, unless she impersonates Bennington's widow and claims the estate. To save her father, Constance reluctantly agrees, and when Bennington reads of his own suicide, he decides to return incognito and investigate. Impressed with Bennington's resemblance to the supposed dead man, Glendon enlists him in his scheme to collect the estate. Bennington gladly complies, outwits the crook and falls in love with Constance. When Constance receives word of her father's death, she confesses all to Bennington, and after Glendon's arrest, becomes Mrs. Bide Bennington in reality.
