College days over, Will, now Dr. William Bradley, marries Nellie. The years pass. Will is very fond of Nellie and their little son. Then one day he receives a letter from Bob, who is coming to visit them. Instantly his expression clouds, and he looks at Nellie suspiciously when she expresses joy at seeing her old friend again. Nellie pats Will's head reprovingly, tells him he is all tired from overwork, and leaves the room with the child to get his slippers and jacket. Shortly after, Bob arrives. Will notices in alarm the way Nellie greets him. He almost catches them in an embrace when he comes from the telephone to say that he has been called out of the city. That night when he returns, he finds Bob eloping with Nellie. There is a stormy interview. Bob brings out a revolver, and in the scuffle that ensues, the child, who has been awakened by the noise, is shot and killed as he rushes in to protect his daddy. The guilty pair make their escape, and Will, alone with his dead child, vows vengeance. Then starts a search lasting for several years. Will finally locates Bob and Nellie in a cheap dive in the underworld. They have sunk to the depths, and Will confronts them as Bob is taking some money away from Nellie. Will keeps his vow and kills Bob, but as he turns to Nellie, several policemen seize him, and he is led away. At the trial, Will is convicted. He denounces Nellie before the whole court, and she faints. While all bend over her, Will seizes the opportunity to jump through an open window. Pursued by the police, he is just about to jump off a bridge when they catch him, and beat him over the head with their clubs. And then, Will awakes. His child is beating him with his slipper, and telling him mamma is waiting. It has all been a dream, and Will is cured of his foolish jealousy when Bob does arrive, bringing with him a surprise in the person of his bride, Mrs. "Bob."
