Wylie is of a jealous temperament and believes he sees in Nancy's acceptance of his brother's attentions a proof of her preference for him. William monopolizes Nancy until Wylie is almost beside himself with rage and jealousy. He makes the serious mistake of telling his troubles to others. Nancy's little brother and sister, Katie and Bob, are accidental witnesses of Wylie's jealousy and, as a childish prank, pin to his coat tails a placard on which it scribbled, "I am jealous." This is pointed out to Wylie by a group of townspeople, and stung by the boisterous laughter, he angrily throws himself upon his brother, thinking he had perpetrated the joke. The two men are separated by the crowd. William is later found murdered with Wylie's gun beside his body. He is arrested. Meantime, the wife of the real murderer, an Italian vagrant, learns that an innocent man is to be convicted for the crime. She runs to the courthouse, arriving just as Judge Stone is about to pronounce sentence upon his own son. She betrays her guilty husband and frees Wylie. The judge is almost overcome with joy at finding his son restored to him. One look into Nancy's eyes convinces Wylie how true is her love for him and how groundless has been his jealousy.
