By the terms of the will, this fortune reverts to her cousin, Daniel Sage, unless she marries a man possessing at least $2,000,000. Harry Osborn. In order to obtain the help of the International Sporting Club, agrees to pay it one-half of any inheritance derived from his marriage through its aid. Later Jane leaves for Europe and Sage, resolving to increase his fortune, follows the widow. He meets with Osborn through the Sporting Club and they perpetrate a scheme whereby they both will benefit financially. In Paris. Jane meets an amiable and careless Italian, who losing everything at a wheel of fortune, is induced to buy a couple of lottery tickets. Things begin to look favorable to Sage and Osborn, until Jane meets Petro. She immediately falls in love with him, but her too frequent attentions are responsible for his indifference toward her. All the while she refuses numerous invitations from the schemers. While out riding Petro meets Jane along the roadside and she accuses him of having followed her. Having no visiting cards, he writes his answer on a lottery ticket. Informing her that her mind might be at rest as he leaves for Rome the nest day. Jane has planned to leave for Rome and they incidentally arrive on the same train. Sage and Osborn not to be thwarted, follow them to Rome and procure the assistance of the International Sporting Club there. Osborn seizes an opportunity to steal Jane's purse containing her private letters and Petro, appearing at this time, offers his assistance. A furious automobile race is on. The auto in which Osborn is riding turns turtle and the occupants are severely injured. Petro also sustains a bruised arm. The next day an item in the newspapers tells of the accident, and also on the same page the winner of the grand prize in the lottery is announced. Jane on seeing the winning number curiously inspects Petro's ticket. Sage discouraged, calls on Jane and offers her one-third of the legacy providing she marries the man of her choice. Petro comes in as Jane says to her cousin, "This gentleman is a multi-millionaire, and in marrying him I retain the terms of the will and forfeit nothing."
