There is intrigue and deception at a small-town bank when it is discovered that an unsuspecting employee (Paul Sand) has embezzled $109,000 while acting as chief clerk.

However, when word of the crime gets out, the whole community becomes outraged and gets involved, resulting in plenty of trouble.
