Eddie protests his innocence of the crime. They take him to Joes' home and there try to compel him to confess. Eddie sticks to his story and begs them to let him go to his mother. They fight and Eddie gets a pistol from "Big Joe," and makes his escape, closely pursued. When he arrives home he finds that his mother is barely alive, and in his excitement he overturns her bottle of medicine. He goes for more, but "Big Joe" and "Santa Fe" Willie are waiting outside for him. They detain him so long that when he returns his mother has only time to bid him goodbye. Helen Morgan is nursing her and the mother gives her son into Helen's care. Eddie decides to live "straight," and with the help of Helen he starts well on his way. Helen confesses that she has an illegitimate child. Eddie is at first astonished, but he later decides to give her a helping hand. Tom Morgan is the night watchman in a big bank. "Big Joe" and "Santa Fe" Willie learn that he has an invalid wife and so approach him with a proposition to help them in robbing the bank. However, when the time comes Morgan cannot make himself do this. Eddie decides to help him frustrate their plans. Meanwhile Morgan discovers that his daughter, Helen, is staying with Eddie. Helen and her baby return home, where they are joyfully received. The two crooks go ahead with their plans, Morgan apparently falling in with their ideas, but Eddie has arranged with the police to capture the two red-handed. Eddie is wounded in the fight which ensues and sends for Helen. She promises, if he recovers, she will marry him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
