His wife is of that type of ultra-modern woman who will not listen to the call of motherhood, but satisfies her neurotic nature with drugs. The opium habit is an expensive one and with this and her other vanities she forces more money from her husband than he can afford. Her husband's twin brother, Jim, is the moral antithesis of Robert. He is a slave of the drug habit in spite of the heroic attempt of his wife to save him. Threatening suicide if he is refused Jim forces Robert to furnish him with money to satisfy his craving. With this double drain on his resources Robert's accounts are short. He is arrested, convicted and sent to prison for ten years. Without the moral restraint furnished by her husband, Robert's wife sinks to the lowest level and dies unknown in a dive. When Jim hears that Robert is in prison as a result principally of his own misdeeds he decides to put his worthless life to one sublime last use. He goes to the prison, forces Robert to change clothes with him. Robert goes into the world to make a fresh start. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
