Molly by her industry and ambition has saved up five hundred dollars to go to college and complete her education; she is very proud of her achievement. John is a young fellow with extravagant idle notions, who refuses to hold his jobs as a skilled mechanic and insist upon spending his time in rambling and dissipation. Molly loves her brother and tries to induce him to mend his ways and make a man of himself. Molly's father, who is editor of the local paper, starts a journalistic campaign against the gamblers, and they decide to get square with him by ruining his son John. They draw the boy into a game, win his money, and get him to forge a check on the bank of San Antonio. The leader of the gang of gamblers starts early the next morning to get the check cashed. John hears of it, and in remorse attempts to kill himself, but is prevented doing so by his sister Molly, to whom he confesses his wrongdoing. She takes her college money, jumps on her horse and reaches the bank in time to deposit the money in her brother's name, saving him from arrest and imprisonment. Her brother wakes up to a sense of his smallness, resolves to make good, gives Molly his note for five hundred dollars, and starts at work again to redeem the past and make a man of himself.
