The following day Tony is knocked down by an auto containing Mrs. Dodge. He is uninjured, but the kind lady takes him to his home. Tony finds that all of his pay goes for food and rent. He appeals to the padrone, who laughs at him. Tony discovers Dodge attempting to make love to Maria, his wife. He beats the man off. Members of a bomb organization urge Tony to join their society for revenge. During his absence Maria is taken to the hospital. When he returns, Rosa, his little daughter, tells him a "bad mans" took her mother away. Believing it to have been Dodge, Tony joins the bomb-throwers.
