- A young man is about to elope with his girl when they are stopped by her father, who asks: "Can you support my daughter in the manner in which she was brought up?" That ends the elopement and the young man turns his thoughts to suicide. Failing at that, he is approached by a thug who means to hold him up, but the disappointed young man strikes a bargain with the criminal and gives him $37.50 for a first-class killing. He is to be shot before midnight. In the meantime he pays a visit to his girl and while he is taking his last farewell a telegram arrives informing him that he has fallen heir to a fortune. They rush to the church and are married, but on their way home he suddenly discovers the thug and reminds himself of the bargain. The bad man, who was beating the bass drum for the Salvation Army now gives chase and pursues the young fellow to the top of a high building. Here at a dizzy height he finally traps him and, returning the check, informs him that the bargain is "off," for he has just "got religion." All ends happily. The groom returns to his bride and the thug to the bass drum.
