Nina Brooks and her associate, Joe Brooks, are caught in a badger game, convicted and sentenced to a term of years in the state penitentiary. Nina serves her term and on her release is taken in charge at the prison gate by Mary Moore, who presides over a mission for the reclamation of unfortunate women. Nina finds herself in this new field, and becomes an ardent worker in the cause. In the course of her labors, she meets Henry Lewis, a humanitarian. Lewis is the prosecuting attorney that was responsible, in the line of his duty, for her conviction and sentence. He becomes more than interested in Nina, and would marry her, assuring her, in spite of her objections and fear that her past is her own. They are married and happy. Meantime Brooks has escaped from prison. He meets and recognizes his old pal and calls to blackmail and persecute her. Driven into a frenzy Nina shoots Brooks. Lewis recognizes Brooks and associates him with Nina's past. The police arrive; Lewis shows his true and manly love by assuming the responsibility for the tragedy, giving himself over to the authorities without a murmur.
