The boys come into the estate of their dead father, and Uncle Bob cautions them against squandering their inheritance. He is made furious when news reaches him that the three boys have invested respectively in motorboats, automobiles and fine horses. The boys visit Uncle Bob's office and discover a letter which leads them to believe that their uncle is to be defeated in a stock deal. They go to a broker and order him to sell a particular stock short, believing they will help Uncle Bob. In order to gain sufficient funds to put this deal through, they mortgage their home. When this news reaches Uncle Bob, he writes the boys a letter, telling them he wants to have nothing more to with them. Uncle Bob fights his unknown enemies in the stock deal. He does not know that the enemies are his own nephews. Uncle Bob is victorious and the boys' money is wiped out. By accident, Uncle Bob learns of what his nephews have done. He likes their affection for him even if it were misguided, and he sees that all their securities are returned to them. See less
