Ralph Everly and Harry Daniels are valued members of the team. Ralph is in love with Georgia, Harry's sister, and has urged her to give him her answer. She tells him he shall have it after the game. Harry has been consorting with gamblers, and they urge him to throw the game, as they are putting up money on the side of the opponents, and the betting is heavy on the home team. Just as the game begins, they send a note to Harry, on the field, offering him a thousand dollars to throw the game. By a mistake Ralph gets the note, but does not read it, as the whistle is sounded for the game to begin. The first half is played, and Virginia is victorious, the score being 3 to 0. Between the halves Harry managed to get the note from Ralph's helmet. He makes a fumble at a critical moment, and Virginia loses the game, the final score standing 7 to 3. The bystanders accuse Harry, but Ralph, for the sake of Georgia, takes the blame on his own shoulders, and says the note was sent to him. Harry is too weak to tell the truth and accept the scorn he deserves. Ralph, thinking that Georgia will believe in him, goes for her answer, but it is a scathing "No!" He continues his senior year and graduates with the undeserved contempt of all his classmates. Ralph goes to New York and becomes a member of the bar. His legal triumphs excite so much attention that he is invited by the District Attorney of his home town to be his assistant. His first case turns out to be the prosecution of Harry Daniels, who has never forsaken his dishonest ways and associates, and has stolen from the bank in which he is employed. Ralph proves him guilty, and Harry serves a sentence in prison. Coming out, he is determined to be revenged on Ralph. Georgia discovers his intention, and goes to warn Ralph. It is the first time the two have met face to face since the day of the game. Even while she is warning him, Harry comes to attempt his life, and Ralph denounces him, for the first time telling Georgia the truth about the football game. He shows his magnanimity by giving Harry a chance to redeem himself. Young Daniels leaves to begin life over again under happier conditions, and Ralph and Georgia take up their Virginia romance where they had left it so long ago.
