Jameson, a detective, desires information concerning the movements of Baird's former associates, and when Baird refuses to aid him, he systematically hounds the old man, forcing him to be discharged from position after position. Baird finally secures employment in a quarry many miles away from the nearest city and for a time is happy. The young superintendent falls in love with Muriel, Baird's daughter, and the future seems very bright. But again the sinister shadow of Baird's enemy falls across his path, and the detective appears with orders from the general offices of the company to discharge the ex-convict, the daughter casts her lot with her father and refuses to marry the superintendent. The day that Baird and his daughter are to start once more on their wanderings presents an opportunity to the old man to rid himself forever from his enemy, for the detective falls from a steep cliff into the quarry just as a blast is about to be set off. Baird, however, goes to his rescue and saves his life, but at the cost of his own. He passes away, happy in the knowledge that his daughter has found a husband and protector in the young superintendent, while "his enemy" remorsefully goes away.
