Years later, in Washington, D.C., he meets the same man, and learns from him of a plot against the government incriminating Senator Delafield. Drummond is in love with Elinor Delafield, the senator's sister. It is a remarkable fact that Delafield and Drummond are almost the counterparts of each other in physical appearance. The Alaskan determines to save the brother of the woman he loves from turning traitor to his government. The opportunity comes when Delafield falls ill and cannot attend an important meeting of his committee. Drummond takes his chair and impersonates the absent senator. The speech he makes is not at all the one Delafield had intended to deliver. But it saves the senator's honor and wins Drummond the grateful Elinor for his wife.
