Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine review,[2] a young man freshly released from Sing Sing goes straight with the help of a friendly artist, but his old gang, including his sweetheart, accuse him of informing and plan to blackmail his benefactor. The young woman's father, a convict pal of the younger man, the father of his sweetheart, is released from prison also and determines to kill one of the crooks, whom he paid to keep the young woman straight. However, the turn of events sets aright the affairs of everyone excepting those who refused to reform.
