Regis Toomey finishes serving his sentence and returns home to his mother, Virginia True Boardman. He's convinced everyone in town that he's been knocking around the world. He gets back his old job at the bank and resumes his courtship of Helen Cohan. This puts Robert Ellis' nose out of joint. Ellis has been trying to make time with the bank president's daughter, and he has a lot of gambling debts. He decides on a plan to get some money and put the blame on Toomey.
There's nothing in this second feature that comes as a surprise, although director George Melford stages one scene very nicely; Toomey, Miss Boardman and Miss Cohan are in the kitchen, making cookies, with a cat draped around his neck. Still, despite the overt good intentions on the need of society to recognize that some people serve their time and be accepted back into society -- there's a long title at the beginning to drive home this point -- it's a dully written story.
