The son promises the father that if he would give him enough money, he would go to another city and try to "make good." The son goes to another city, but he gets into difficulty and turns criminal. He serves in the penitentiary for four years. In the meantime the old inventor dies and his daughter marries her father's benefactor, a man who took an interest in his inventions. The girl lives happily until the shadow of her brother darkens her path. He continually asks her for money and she gives it to him to keep his disgusting presence out of her sight. She is ashamed of him and does not want her husband to know of the Black Sheep in the family. Her husband, however, sees her in the presence of the Black Sheep and grows suspicious of his wife. The Black Sheep soon grows dissatisfied with the pittance his sister allows him periodically, so he decides to break into the home and steal as much as he can. In this he does not succeed, for detectives, who follow him for a former offense, interfere. He tries to make a get-a-way, but is shot dead in the attempt. During the mix-up the husband finds the Black Sheep in the embrace of his wife. When the criminal is shot and brought into the house dead, a note in his pocket discloses his relationship.
