Plot

edit

As described in a film magazine review,[3] the Boy, leaving the Sing Sing prison embittered with life, meets Marie, a Girl who is honest and whose Father objects to their marrying. The Boy leaves for New York City with the Girl’s promise to meet him there. When she arrives, he fails to meet her as he is being held captive by some criminals. Believing she has been deserted, she turns into an adventuress to support herself and he becomes a dope fiend. Numerous exciting incidents occur before they are reunited and, with the help of the Priest, reclaimed.
