Brant is caught and sentenced to the penitentiary. On being released, he returns to his father, promising to keep straight. Maxine breaks down Brant's resolution. Later, in a shoplifting venture Maxine is trailed and captured. The district attorney induces the girl to turn state's evidence. She betrays Brant and his gang. Brant determines to kill the district attorney. He stations himself in a window opposite his enemy's office, and seeing the silhouette of a man's hat on the window shade, fires. A few moments later he is captured by the police and taken to view the victim. On the back of a chair dangles the hat, untouched, just where the district attorney had hung it. Maxine lies dead on the floor. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
