Plot
Released from prison on parole, John Bradley plans to live alone quietly in a cabin in the country. He is visited there by the sheriff's daughter, Helen Grant, on whose account he had got into a fight and accidentally killed a man in the past. While he is trying to persuade her to leave, a beautiful disheveled woman in evening dress bursts in. This is Louise Loring, who has run away on foot from her rich "protector", Tony Robson.
With his sidekick Conroy, Robson pursues Louise and Conroy shoots Bradley's dog. Bradley knocks out Conroy, who falls and seriously injures his head. Robson reports this to the local sheriff, who wants Bradley back in jail. Tipped off by Helen, Bradley and Louise flee to the New York flat of an old cellmate, Tommy Logan, and there fall in love.
Traced by the police, Bradley escapes with a bullet in his shoulder. Meanwhile, Robson has accused Louise of theft in order to trace her and then tries to persuade her to go back to him. Since he is of a vindictive nature and she suspects him of trying to harm Bradley further, she agrees. Bradley arrives with Tommy Logan for a showdown just as Robson decides to murder Conroy so as to worsen the apparent case against Bradley. The two burst in and expose his plot at the last moment.
