 Meanwhile the bank in the city is being robbed. Leaving the roadhouse they meet the cashier of the bank. The cashier is accused of the robbery and his only proof of his innocence would be the testimony of the two joyriders. If the man tells the truth and clears the cashier, he will ruin the good name of the married woman and will lose his own sweetheart.

 What he does and what Fate does is best told in the picture. This story appeared in Saturday Evening Post.
