Synopsis

Tom King, in jail for life, is pardoned when he courageously helps other prisoners during a fire. He then goes to live with his brother Matthew, the hated owner of a run-down town's mill, and his own son Max, who was brought up by Matthew to believe that his father was dead. When Matthew is struck with partial paralysis, Tom takes over the mill. His confession to the workers of his past wins their respect but causes embarrassment for Max. Fearing that his love, Ruth Renaud, will not want to marry the son of an ex-convict, Max leaves for New York to study music, financially supported by Tom. In a short time Tom institutes many changes for the betterment of the town and its workers. When the mill turns a good profit, even Matthew softens and supports Tom. Max returns, and, seeing the change in the town, asks for Tom's forgiveness. Finally, he and Ruth marry.
