John Stuart plays a chemist. He has a valuable patent for a paint spraying process. He is penniless and gets an interview with a paint company. He is desperate to borrow £5 to buy a new suit. By chance he comes across a young woman who has fallen ill in her car. He takes her handbag and gets a doctor but she has gone by his return.
He "borrows" £5 from her bag which also contains a valuable bracelet. He goes to the interview in the new suit and gets the job. The girl turns out to be the chairman's daughter. Unfortunately for Stuart, Ronnie Shiner, a friend of the maid has gone to his room and pinched the bracelet. So when Stuart sends the bag to the police he is thought to have stolen that and sent to prison for 12months.
During this time the dishonest manager of the company has made use of the patent, collecting the royalties for himself. As the process is imperfect he is happy to reemploy Stuart. Stuart discovers the manager's villainy, falls in love with the Chairman's daughter and all ends happily.
