- Bob Finch, an orphan who has been brought up by his uncle, has decided to go in for a professional career, and to complete his education enrolls at Chatham College. Eric, his cousin, who has fallen into bad habits, has rejected all offers of his father to send him to a University. On the eve of his departure for college, Bob regrets that Eric is not to accompany him, but promises Eric's sister with whom he is in love, that he will do everything in his power to persuade Eric to attend West Point. After Bob has been at Yale for some time, Eric comes to visit him. This visit is caused by the fact that Eric is to take his examinations and needs some tutoring assistance from Bob, as he is very backward in his studies. Shortly after Eric's arrival in town he meets some strangers and is enticed by them into a game of chance, in which he loses considerable money. Bob enters at a crucial moment and persuades Eric to leave. Suddenly brought to his senses by a realization of what might have happened to him, Eric studies very hard for the examinations, but on the day of the test fearing that he will be unable to pass, he takes one of the text books into the examination room with him and cheats. Seeing the professor approaching he passes the book to Bob, who is caught with it. Remembering his promise to Eric's sister, Bob says nothing, takes all the blame, and is expelled from college. Breaking from all his former associates he goes out to make a name for himself. Being offered a position in a distant city he decides to see his cousin Cecelia before he leaves. Suffering from his uncle's displeasure, he arranges to meet his cousin at an hour when everyone is asleep. Eric in the meantime, having gone from bad to worse, decides to rob his father's house to secure money to pay his gambling debts. Breaking into the house he is found by Bob as he is in the act of robbing the safe. The commotion aroused brings his father down stairs. Eric accuses Bob of participating in the crime, but Cecelia finding that her love for Bob is greater than her love for her brother, tells all and forces a confession from Eric that it was his act which was the cause of Bob's leaving college. Bob's good name is cleared, while Eric suffers the penalty of his acts.
