The town bully sees him walking with his sweetheart, and on a bet, drives him from her side through a display of brute force. Ruth writes him a sorrowful note, regretting his cowardice, and releasing him from the engagement. Some time later a mysterious spot develops on his arm, and the village doctor pronounces it to be leprosy. In despair, Sands tries to kill himself, but is too cowardly even for that. The doctor goes insane from overwork and starts to shoot up the town. Sands, seeing Ruth in danger, attacks the madman and overpowers him. A doctor from the next town, hearing Sands declare that his bravery was inspired by knowledge of his doom, inquires the reason. "Why, man, that is only some chemical you have spilt on your arm," he laughs, and Sands feels Ruth's hand steal into his. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
