Such a character is "Bull" Hicks. He is burly and rough-necked, and is feared by his evil associates, as a leopard fears the tiger. "The Bull," as Hicks is called by his pals, has everyone "bluffed." Meek and poor Alice is also under the spell of his domineering personality. Soon, however, a new influence comes into the life of Alice. Geoffrey Hall, a young clubman, and his friends, go slumming and find themselves in a dance hall of questionable repute. A number of typical characters of the neighborhood are enjoying themselves in the place. "The Bull" and his "Gal," Alice, are also amongst the crowd. As soon as Hall sees Alice, he sees that she does not belong in such an environment. Somehow she stands out strikingly and by contrast, attracts attention. Of course, the inevitable happens. Geoffrey becomes interested in Alice and this incurs the displeasure of "The Bull." There is a fight, after which Alice goes to the house of Hall, where she is looked after by Hall's mother. "The Bull" comes to claim Alice, and in one of the most remarkable scenes in pictures and exhibitions of acting. "The Bull" shows that at last he has lost his power. The struggle is hard. There is a battle royal of good with evil, and good finally conquers. Alice, by a supreme effort, casts off the spell in which "The Bull" has had her enveloped.
