George commits a theft and is arrested and convicted. The sister, in order to get away from the disgrace, goes to a small country town and becomes a professional nurse. She becomes acquainted with Phillips Moore, a minister while nursing his sister through an illness. Their friendship ripens into love and later, when Phillips proposes marriage, she accepts. George, on being released from jail, takes up his old life. He comes to the same town where his sister is living, and makes an attempt at robbing the minister's house. He is surprised in his act, but manages to make his escape, but is shot. He evades his pursuers, but the loss of blood from his wound renders him unconscious. He is found by his sister. She takes him into her home. He stays there until he has recovered from his wounds, his presence being kept a secret. Some gossiping neighbors find out that George is in the house and the tongue of scandal starts wagging. The news reaches the minister's ears and he goes to Lois' house to ascertain the truth. The sister, fearing that if her brother is recognized it would cause his arrest, denies his presence in the house. The minister, knowing that Lois is untruthful, misconstrues her motive. He leaves the house and decides to break off their engagement. George realizes that his sister has lost the man she loves in order to protect him. His manhood asserts itself. He goes to the minister, makes a confession to him, explaining all to the minister's satisfaction. The minister and Lois are brought together again. The brother leaves them, after vowing to lead a better life. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
