- The profligate, a lovable but dissipated young man, is cast off by the man he believed to be his uncle, because of his dissipations, and told that he was a foundling. When the uncle is found murdered and his safe robbed, evidence points to the profligate. He is finally acquitted, although many believe him guilty. The profligate goes into the country, where he reforms. There he meets a girl with whom he falls in love, but her friends knows the profligate and tells of his past. The profligate determines to find the real murderer. He traces a man who was trying to pawn some bonds to his home, and discovers it is a man supposed to have been the bosom friend of his "uncle." He forces the man to confess. A locket is accidentally dragged from the profligate's pocket and the murderer recognizes it. The locket had been placed on the neck of his baby when he had driven his wife and child from the house. The woman had left the child on a doorstep and ended her own life. The profligate is staggered by the thought that he is the son of the murderer. As he stands there the girl he loves walks into the room. She comes to bring him back some trinkets of her friend who had died and who was a niece of the murderer. She has heard all and throws herself into the arms of the profligate.
