Plot: Jack Saunders has more than his share of exuberance. Strong, healthy and handsome, he imagines his mastery extends over the human as well as the animal world. He approaches Ethel, his sweetheart, in the same spirit that he manages his horses and dogs. She calls him a brute; they quarrel. Jack goes to Chicago and falls in with evil companions. One night Sloan, a crook and one of his companions, holds up and robs Henry Forbes. While the police are chasing the crook, he jumps again at Jack Saunders in the street and drops the stolen pocketbook. Jack picks it up and in his attempt to elude the police, he enters an open window in the residence of Forbes. Mrs. Forbes enters and sits down at the feet of the man she believes to be her husband, for the lights are low. An instant later Forbes arrives and finds his wife in this compromising position. Jack's position, however, undergoes an immediate change when Mr. Forbes gets a good look at his face. Ethel is a niece of Mrs. Forbes and has written to her that she still loves Jack and hopes that some day he will return to her. Jack's picture was enclosed in the letter. Mutual explanations follow, with the final result that the kindly Mr. Forbes furnishes Jack with the wherewithal to speed him westward to the woman he loves and who is waiting for him.
