In running away the thief knocks down Jim Brown and the stolen wallet is knocked out of his hand. Dazed, Brown arises and picks up the wallet. He is arrested as the thief, tried, and sentenced to the penitentiary. After serving his term he tries to secure employment, but his prison record prevents this. Even his own family loses faith in him and turns away. In despair he decides to commit suicide. He prepares for death under a big tree, but is interrupted by a little child who, unafraid, talks with the strange man and asks him to help her with her Sunday school lesson. The text is, "Though your sins be as scarlet," etc., and it affects him strongly. The little girl takes him by the hand and leads him to the church, which turns out to be that of the minister who was robbed. A call comes for the minister from a dying man, who proves to be the thief. He makes a confession before expiring, and the clouds are removed from Jim Brown's life.
