Synopsis

After Sheridan Redpath, known as Sherry, squanders the last of his inheritance on drink, he plucks up his courage and decides to go to work. Employed as a bodyguard by Andrew Gilman, the richest man in town, Sherry is on duty one night when he discovers burglars ransacking the neighboring Compton residence. Entering the house, he captures two men, one of whom proves to be Gilman's stepson. Subsequently, the two rogues break jail and are pursued by the sheriff's posse, of which Sherry is a member. Gilman's stepson takes refuge in his mother's apartments, and in the ensuing gunfire, both son and mother are killed. Sherry then becomes a power in the Gilman business and, once again solvent and sober, marries his sweetheart, Morna O'Brien.
