When word arrives of Castleman's death, Chilton prepares to usurp the fortune and property of the dead man.

Chilton, however, suspects the trio and finally unmasks them. It then develops that Danny actually is Castleman, who had decided to reform the two men who befriended him and to expose the dishonesty of his cousin.
