His mother sends him to sell her watch, and the pawnbroker by mistake enters his name opposite the number and description of another watch which has been stolen. Murphy, a detective, and an enemy of Doyle, is put on the trace of the stolen watch. He investigates the pawnshop records and arrests Doyle, who receives a speedy trial and is sent back to prison for five years. The mother's watch disappears. Three years later, Doyle gets word from his sister that his mother is dying. He manages to escape from prison, and again Murphy is put on his tracks. Doyle evades the detective, but while trying to rescue a young girl from injury, he is run down by the governor's automobile. The governor's daughter has Doyle taken to a hospital, where later he is placed under arrest. At his request the governor's daughter goes with a doctor to Mrs. Doyle's bedside. The dying woman recognizes in the watch the doctor uses the very one which she had sent her son to pawn three years before. The doctor tells how he bought it at the pawnshop in his student days. The governor's daughter takes up the case with the board of pardons and before his mother dies Doyle is reprieved. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
