Dudley, at heart a worthy man, determines to live down his past. He gets a position, but McCoy trails him and blackmails him for a portion of his earnings. Desperate at the turn of affairs, Dudley moves to another town. Here he finally secures another position, in which he makes good and is promoted. He becomes engaged to the daughter of the company's president, but his past will not down. McCoy again crosses his path and threatens to tell all if he is not given $5,000. Dudley determines to give up the unequal fight and goes to his fiancée, telling her of the blot on his past, and offers to release her from the engagement. She, however, refuses to do so, in which she is supported by her father, who tells Dudley that he trusts him in spite of all. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
