He talks the matter over with his wife and decides that he will go to Mexico. His broker notifies him that his margin on this stock is almost wiped out and that $2,000 is needed. Briggs borrows this amount on his $10,000 life insurance policy. Briggs goes to his office before taking the train. A tramp has broken into the office and when Briggs arrives he hides. Briggs concludes his business and departs, leaving a lighted cigar behind. A fire is started. The tramp is burned to death. Arriving in Chihuahua, Briggs' mission is misunderstood and he is thrown into prison as a spy. In the meantime the charred body of the tramp is found in the ruins of Briggs' office. Mrs. Briggs testifies that her husband was at the office at the time of the fire and the body is identified as that of Briggs. The life insurance is paid over to the supposed widow. She invests the money. Finally Briggs escapes from the Mexican prison and returns to find himself supposedly dead and his affairs in prosperous condition.
