Thinking that he has killed a man, he escapes to New York, where he becomes the leader of a band of gentlemen crooks. Mary Watson marries John Strong and moves to the metropolis. Strong becomes rich through an invention he has perfected. Absorbed in his work, he unintentionally neglects Mary, who becomes infatuated with one of her husband's business associates. Then the Iago steps in. Jim Watson enters Strong's house, and discovers that it is his sister's home. He overhears her being tempted. He realizes that it is a trap and that her husband is on the point of catching her in a compromising position. It is a choice between making his own get-away and saving his sister. He chooses the latter. When Strong comes into his wife's room he finds that her caller is her brother. Meanwhile the police arrive, and Watson, in trying to escape, is shot.
