The rival for the gang leadership makes much of it and plays upon the feelings of the gang to the extent of causing a revolt against him. The leader tries to forget the girl, but he is gradually won over by her and becomes a regular attendant at the mission. His excuse to himself is that she needs protection, and he walks home with her most every night. The rival hears of it and takes the gang down to the mission one night to prove him a backslider. They find him there alone with the girl just starting for her home. They jeer at him and insult him, but she prevents his fighting. He finds he is deposed and goes to work on the docks, where he speedily gets to be foreman. Hearing of the chaos in his old district before the coming election, he goes back one night to get back his leadership, but the gang "get him" and the little mission worker finds him beaten up and takes him home. That breaks the last link between himself and the gang and he turns to his work, and the girl. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
