The young man becomes fascinated with Helen Grant, a young mill girl who is engaged to Harry Ames, a fine fellow, but with an occasional weakness for drink. Rolland presses his attentions upon Helen, but she refuses to accept them. Harry and Helen are married, and Rolland commences a systematized persecution of Harry and finally has the young husband discharged for intoxication. Helen begs Rolland to give Harry another chance, but he tells her he cannot do it. Then, pretending sympathy, he gives Harry a letter of introduction to a friend in America, with whom he can secure a good job, and gives Helen back her old position in the mill. All correspondence between the two is intercepted by the rascal and when he feels the time is ripe, Rolland urges Helen to forget Harry and run away with him. This conversation is overheard by Harry's friend Mark, who at once cables Harry to come home. On his arrival Mark tells him that Helen on her refusal to accept Rolland's proposition has been discharged. While walking home, Mark and Harry see Helen, thoroughly discouraged, throw herself into the river. Her husband rescues her, John Latham returns, and Rolland's villainies are proved against him. His uncle peremptorily dissolves the partnership and dismisses Rolland, while Helen and Harry are made happy, knowing that they have gone through the mill of life and come out into the glorious sunlight of future happiness.
