That same day George is threatened with arrest for embezzlement and escapes by leaping into the bay. He is believed drowned. Edna's father resigns his post and they return to their American home. On an adjoining estate is Senator Dart (Martindel) and his son Jack (Mulhall). Edna falls in love with Jack and their engagement is announced. George returns and attempts to blackmail Edna's father, who then forbids the marriage of Edna and Jack. However, the couple elope and are married right at midnight.
