Jack Mills loses his sweetheart, Jean Ross, to his friend, Bud Loupel. Behind in his payments on a house, Bud steals money from the bank where he works. The owner finds out, but Jack takes the blame by holding up the bank and pretending to rob it of the money Bud has already taken. Bud shoots the owner and is severely wounded himself. Jack takes the rap at the trial, but Bud admits he is guilty before dying from his wounds. Jack promises to care for Jean and the baby.

The title refers to the "silent sacrifice which one man made in facing punishment by hanging, so that the other man could go back to his wife and child, undisgraced" (Moving Picture World, 9 February 1924).
