Synopsis
In his battle to clean up the slums, Paul Manson, the young rector of a fashionable church, makes the shocking discovery that his own church owns the worst tenements. When his congregation refuses to renovate them, Paul has a nervous breakdown and is sent to the woods to recover. While there, his clothes are stolen by Joe Farley, a vagrant from the slums, who happens to be the minister's exact double. After Farley's dead body is found, Paul reads the account of his own death and returns to the city in the guise of a workman to set about rehabilitating the slums. Recognized by Mrs. Farley, who claims that he is her missing husband, Paul refuses to live with the woman, but enlists her aid in his work. After mobilizing the voters, he forces his former congregation to tear down the dilapidated buildings and build new ones. Finally recognized by a member of his congregation, Paul refuses to return to his old life, preferring to live among the people that he has aided, and he marries Mrs. Farley.

Notes
While all reviews state that ex-Judge Willis Brown, who was called "a nationally known figure in sociological and child uplift work" in a news item, wrote the story, Brown's name was crossed out on the synopsis included in the copyright descriptions, which credits James Campbell with the story.
