- The prison doors open on Tom Denton, first-timer and Slim Jim of the underworld. Tom immediately starts out to seek employment, but when his story is told, he learns that the prison odor still clings. Jim, an old-time crook, being wiser, beats his way west, where he is unknown. Tom eventually heads west after many futile attempts to obtain work. In the freer country he soon finds employment and makes good. Several months later Jim secures employment on the same ranch, unbeknown to Tom. As time goes on Tom proves his reform is genuine. His employer soon advances him to the position of foreman. The boss's daughter Kitty does not hide her preference for her father's industrious overseer. As Jim is about to rob the cash drawer of its contents, Tom comes upon him. Calling in the owner, Tom denounces Him as a thief and Jim for revenge reveals Tom's past. Tom acknowledges the truth of Jim's statement, but although stating he had reformed and turned his back upon the past he is compelled to accept his discharge and leave his employment. Kitty, learning of his departure, follows after him and just as she has overtaken him and is urging him to return they are attacked by a roving band of Indians. While their danger is greatest Jim, who has been confined in a log cabin awaiting the arrival of the sheriff, effects his escape and takes almost the same trail Tom did, and in consequence, arrives on the scene when Tom and Kitty's chance for a successful escape seem very slim. The inmate manhood in nearly every man comes to the front in Jim. Riding at the top speed to the little hammock behind which Tom and Kitty are fighting, he quickly dismounts and joins forces with the besieged. Learning of Jim's escape from the log cabin, a pursuing party starts out bent upon his capture. Following his trail, they arrive just in time to disperse the Indians and effect a rescue. Kitty's father, when told of her strong love for Tom, decides to take him back and give him a chance. Learning of Jim's actions during the fight he decides to turn the ex-convict loose, with the hope that his recent good action will change his career.—The Film Index synopsis
