At a church picnic, however, Wilbur saves Clinton from drowning, and the rivals become as Damon and Pythias. Years later, Wilbur is ordained a minister, while Clinton has drifted into idleness and vice. Unknown to one another, the boyhood chums are living in the same city. Wilbur's long courtship of Gladys has ended in a happy marriage. Clinton, desperate from hunger and poverty, is drawn into a plot to rob a certain house. Not until the crooks are throttling Wilbur does Clinton discover that they have attacked the home of his old friend. He then flings himself upon the burglars and in a fierce struggle is fatally wounded. Clinton dies in Wilbur's arms, glad to sacrifice himself for the friend who, in boyhood, risked his own life for him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
