It develops that Jim Brown, a poor miner, who has lost his wife and is in straitened circumstances, has become embittered at the world and is the bandit, living alone with his little boy, Tom. Exciting scenes are shown as the sheriff finally trails his man to the cabin. Brown sees the posse coming and gets away, but is captured later. Touched by the grief of the little boy, the sheriff takes Tom home and gives him a home. The boy tosses in his bed, unable to sleep as he thinks of his father in jail. He cautiously gets up and, securing a rope, a file and his father's belt and pistols, makes his way to the barred window and manages to hand them to his father. Securing his horse he gallops away, riding hard all night. The devotion of his boy, and the big-heartedness of the sheriff have shamed him beyond measure, and he writes the sheriff a letter telling him that henceforth he will follow the right path, and when he has redeemed himself he will send for Tom.
