He drifts down the path of life with vice and degradation as his companions. He meets a girl in a saloon whose life has always been in the depths and falls in love with her. This girl meets a sister of charity, who tells her of "The Light About the Throne," and urges her to reform, giving her a card and telling her to call on her at any time she needs help. One day the rival of the prodigal son taunts him with the fact that he had the girl before he did and they fight, the rival being worsted and swears revenge. The girl is now repentant of her past and sets out to seek the Sister of Mercy, who secures her a position as maid in the house of the prodigal's father who, since his son left home, has been helping charitable organizations. The son follows the girl and finds out she has gone to the sister and has left her old life, and he gives her up, although he still loves her. The girl is at his father's home and the father of the prodigal, lonely for his son, falls in love with her. The rival of the prodigal follows the girl to the father's home and tells the father of the girl's past, which she admits. Despite her past the father still loves her and takes her in his arms. The prodigal returns just in time to see his girl in his father's arms and realizing that he has caused the old man enough trouble in the past and not wishing to spoil his new found happiness nor that of the girl, he turns away and goes back to the world as a real man.
