The old priest searches the pages of his baptismal record and smiles as he finds that he took Joe and his pretty sister Sunshine into the church when they were little babies. Visiting Joe in his cell Father O'Brien finally prevails upon him to tell the story of his crime. Joe recounts his life's story, and we see him as a young lad promising to care always for Sunshine upon the death of their mother. As the years go by he toils bravely for her and she comes to meet him at the close of each day, while his fellow workers watch with envious eyes. Then one evening Sunshine does not come and Joe hastens home in an anguish of fear, only to find a note on the table from Sunshine saying she has gone away to be married and have fine diamonds and clothes. Joe sets out on search for his lost sister. The months go by and still he haunts the dives and saloons but without success. Then one day he is crossing a bridge when he sees a ragged desolate girl about to plunge into the black waters. It is Sunshine. In the quiet of their little sitting room the poor girl reveals the cause of her misery, a photograph of her betrayer. Crazed by the thoughts of revenge Joe watches for the man and one day tracks him to his apartments, and when they lead Joe away to jail he exults over the fact that the dead scoundrel will never steal another girl's smile. Returning home next day Father O'Brien sorrowfully enters these two facts in his record: "Joe Roberts died August 13th, 1912. Sunshine Roberts, entered convent August 13th, 1912."
