This leads to a shot now and again, and soon he is an addict, giving up his profession and sinking to the slums, until he is thrown into jail. He escapes and returns to his humble abode, burglarizes the hospital where he was formerly an attaché to obtain a supply of drug, and then when he is brought to a realization of the uselessness of it all he puts up a fight to get away from his habit, but although he spends a night of terror fighting off his desire his victory against the drug brings death.
