On the eve of graduation they find that fate has swayed each individual destiny to bring about their separation. One is going to New York, the other to far-off Arizona. Arriving at Tucson, John is met by Densmore, the friend who has invited him there. Later he meets Grace Brooks, with whom he falls in love. Grace tolerates John's attentions and finally the two become engaged, though Grace is by no means so much in love as John. In the meantime, Burt has been going the pace that kills in New York and finds his health going back on him. His doctor assures him that he must either go west or die, so he writes to his old chum to tell him he is on the way to join him. John is delighted to get this letter and shows it to Grace with much pleasure. He meets Burt at the train. Later Burt and Grace meet and it proves a case of real love at first sight. Burt makes but feeble effort to fight against his passion, and one day the two tell John of the situation. Heartbroken, John pleads with Grace, but to no avail. Burt and Grace are married, and John, weary and torn by his experience, becomes a monk at the Catholic Mission of San Xavier. The years roll by. Burt has gone from bad to worse, and with his wife and child, a little girl of six, is living in poverty near Tucson. He is tired of life and determines to desert his wife and child. In an effort to leave the country he steals a horse, but is discovered and pursued. Desperate and wounded, he takes refuge in the mission, where he is protected and saved by his boyhood friend whom he had so shamelessly betrayed. The deserted wife has been taken back to her parent's home. John convinces Burt of his sin and goes with him back to seek forgiveness of his wife. At first she refuses to listen, but finally is influenced by John's pleas and agrees to take Burt back. The monk then returns to his mission. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
