Synopsis

After completing his education in civil engineering, Bryan Goodwin, the son of James Goodwin, falls victim to the evils of his father's money and embarks upon a life of drink and sloth. Concerned about the direction that his son's life is taking, the elder Goodwin sends Bryan to Tennessee to assist in the construction of a dam. Once there Bryan continues his dissipation until he meets Jean Elliott, a noble young physician and the sister of chief engineer Henry Elliott. Jean's contempt for Bryan's idle life spurs him into action, and he pulls himself together and sets to work in earnest, winning both his father's respect and Jean's love.
