Hamilton has lost all of his money on the stock market and has stolen money from his employer. He feigns illness to avoid detection of the theft, and gains sympathy from Dorothy, who successfully persuades their boss (portrayed by Atwill) to pay for a vacation for Hamilton to travel to Colorado where the climate might restore him to better health. Hamilton goes to Denver where he quickly loses money gambling in poker games, and has an affair with the girl Annie; all while pretending to care about Dorothy while on the phone with her and successfully persuading her to send him more money. Eventually all comes to light, and Dorothy is faced with a difficult choice.^[1]
