In the end Lee finds himself penniless, and commits suicide. Brock assuming the role of Jane's protector, gives her work in his office. He arranged for her to remain late one night and then attacks her. She defends herself, and her outcries bring assistance. Brock accuses the girl of attempting to rob his safe and she is sent to prison. Governor Barnes, interested in welfare work, employs Mrs. Carrington in uplifting unfortunate girls. The Governor's son has gained his father's displeasure and is turned away from home. Mrs. Carrington has become interested in Jane Lee and when the girl's prison term expires takes her into her home. Jane later loses her position, because her prison record becomes known to Mrs. Carrington's friends and they compel her dismissal. She meets Richard White who has met financial reverses through John Brock. With mutual impulses for revenge, White and Jane combine to work against Brock. The girl has found a friend in Bess Murphy. White covets Bess and tricks her into coming to his apartment, telling her Jane is ill. White attacks her and her cries attract Jane, who lives in the same apartment house. In protecting Bess Jane stabs White to death. Her trial results in sentence of death. George Barnes, the Governor's son, has been an attendant at Mrs. Carrington's mission and has met Jane and Bess. Meanwhile he has reformed and becomes a lawyer. He is in the west when he hears of Jane's misfortune and hurries home, to urge his father to pardon Jane. There is great rejoicing when the prodigal returns, the Governor consents to the pardon and Jane marries the Governor's son. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
