One day he is accosted by a woman who claims Forrest to be the father of her child. Forrest declares the woman to be a stranger to him. and convinces Aileen and her parents until Mary produces a photograph of Forrest. Later Forrest sees a likeness of himself in a newspaper, and then realizes that somewhere in the world there exists his physical counterpart, and in this solution he sees the key to the story so convincingly told by Mary. Time elapses, and through this strange likeness and on circumstantial evidence, Forrest is convicted and about to be hanged for murder. He is offered a pardon if he will impersonate the Governor's son Paul, whose double he is, and who is guilty of the murder for which Forrest was convicted, until after the election. Ignorant of the exact facts, he consents. Meantime, Paul has married a chorus girl, who threatens the Governor's social ambitions. Forrest falls in love with Kathie, but would renounce his pardon rather than marry her fraudulently. Paul finds his wedding has been illegal, the supposed lover of the girl whom he killed in a jealous quarrel, having been in reality her husband. He returns to denounce Forrest as an impostor, but he is followed by the chorus girl, who, in revenge for her husband's death, stabs him fatally, and Forrest's innocence is established.
