The story
“René, daughter of John Beresford, the bank president, is in despair because her father objects to her marrying Boyd Townsend, who is poor. When her brother introduces into their home ‘my friend, the count,’ the quick-witted girl sees that here is an individual who is after her money. She works until she succeeds in exposing the impostor, and then she orders him from the house. Meanwhile an uncle of young Townsend’s has died. René goes to her lawyer and has fifty thousand dollars of her own money put in Boyd Townsend’s name as having been left him by his uncle. They are married with Beresford’s blessing. After the ceremony Boyd takes René with him to the very lawyer who handles René’s affairs and directs him to put the money, which he believes he has inherited, in his wife’s name. And so Boyd never finds out René’s clever ruse.”
