A fragment from a tale set around Christmas describes Aunt Else and Uncle Ambrose warning heirs to refrain from snooping in a workroom where a hidden legacy and telegraphy knowledge await. The vigil spans three Christmases with a stern ultimatum and a suspenseful search.
In a family tale, Elsie and Gilbert, wards of Judge Breen, stumble through a third Christmas in a decaying old home. A hidden telegraph clock holds a message from their late guardian Patterson, revealing a shared inheritance and the path to telegraphy as their vocation. The clock at last transmits the crucial cue to contact Patterson and claim the fortune.
