Tom is told by Connell, an elderly millionaire, that he will have to quit hanging around Agnes until he proves that he is worthy of her. Connell is a self-made man, and he insists that Tom prove that he is a capable business man. He tells him that if he is really clever to get some of his money from him. A trick of fate brings Tom to the West, and there he learns that Connell, who suffers severely from chronic dyspepsia, is on his way West in his private car. A little later, when the Pacific Limited stops at a watering tank in the mountains, Tom, wearing a mask, enters Connell's private car and forces Connell and Agnes to accompany him into the mountains. He takes them to a locality where there is but one way of escape, and this is guarded by a Mexican. Connell is allowed his freedom and makes desperate endeavors to climb the rugged cliffs, but always in vain. Agnes chances to learn that the masked kidnapper is Tom, and when he tells her his scheme she joins in with him. A month has passed, and constant climbing, wholesome food and hard work had worked wonders with Connell, and he finds himself thoroughly cured. Tom now discloses his identity to him and recalls to him a statement that Connell had made to the effect that he would give any one a million dollars who would cure him of his dyspepsia. Connell, cured and happy, makes good the promise, and finding that Tom has been clever enough to get some of his money, consents to his engagement to Agnes. - Moving Picture World, July 29, 1916
