As described in a film magazine, [2] Jimmy Berry (Hughes), a much misunderstood young man, is persecuted by his jealous business partner Howard Dawson (Heyes) whenever the latter catches up with him. When Howard finds Jimmy and his wife Dorothy (Darmond) together on the golf links, he tries to shoot Jimmy. While Jimmy maintains that he "can explain everything," Howard will not listen. He proposes that Jimmy should relocate to the New York City office, and then to South America, to separate him from Howard's wife. When he leaves for South America, Dorothy takes the same ship and further complications arise when they are found together upon disembarking. Jimmy is thrown in jail by President Gardez (Wallock), and then becomes involved in a revolution that is being staged by some outlaws. They escape on a passing ship and Jimmy convinces Howard that he is in love with his sweetheart, Betty Carson (Burkett).
