Her father gives her a twenty dollar note, with the promise of more when some of his tenants shall have paid their rent. While dressing to go downtown, she accidentally spills perfume on the note and pins it to a window curtain to dry. The wind carries the note away, and it is found in the grounds by a young laborer whose mother is very ill. He offers the note to the old doctor in payment of his bill, and the doctor in turn pays his rent with it. The girl, missing the money, reports the loss to her father. He consoles her by offering another note; she recognizes the perfume, and demands an explanation. The doctor is followed to the laborer's cottage, where the girl, her father and the detectives they have summoned enter as the boy's mother dies, victim of the need of money.
