Arrested, Jimmie advises his sister to move to another sister, and begin life anew. Molly follows her brother's advice and secures a situation in a laundry, joins the local church and by nursing among the poor earns the praise of all except her neighbors, who are suspicious because she does not mingle in their society. Her brother escapes from prison and Molly on her way from work reads a news item that the convict is believed to be in the vicinity. She also discovers that she is shadowed by detectives and upon reaching her home prepares to do all she can to shield her brother in case he comes. And knowing of the presence of the detective, Jimmie is admitted by the back door, but, unfortunately, getting between the lamp and window his shadow is thrown on the shade, to the view of the waiting detective. Molly realizes the harm that has been done and blows out the light and to the detective's inquiries denies the presence of her brother in the house. Forcing himself into the room the detective is attacked in the darkness and in a desperate struggle overpowered by Jimmie. Molly entering with a lamp pleads with her brother to spare the policeman, arguing that come what may the law will find him some day and he will only have a bigger penalty to pay. Her arguments prevail; Jimmie consents to be arrested and is returned to prison to serve the remaining six months of his sentence. His term served, Molly and Jim resolve to lead Christian lives and their reformation is complete. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
