He is sent to prison for something of which he is innocent, and Mary becomes a school-teacher, of necessity concealing from the school trustees that she is the wife of a convict. Sneaky Pete, Bill's cell-mate, steals a letter from Mary to Bill, and, his term expired, follows Mary and blackmails her, by threatening to cause her to lose her job by revealing her secret. Bill, attempting to escape, gives up his freedom to rescue the warden's children - and is later pardoned, coming home to wreak vengeance on Sneaky Pete, and justify Mary's faith in him.
