Allen Haddock is summoned home from college by the suicide of his father. He finds a note in which his father tells him that Martin Scardon, a corrupt political boss, had threatened him with exposure because of a ruling years ago in which he had made a serious blunder, unless he decided a case about to come up in court in Scardon's favor. Rather than turn crooked or face exposure, the judge ends his life. His son determines to be avenged. He gets employment as Scardon's secretary and gathers evidence against his employer. The young man is in love with Lois Ware, daughter of Senator Ware, who is trying to put through an honest bill in the legislature. He is opposed by Scardon, who represents the moneyed interests. Lois turns against Haddock, because he seems to be allied with Scardon. He explains to her he is playing a desperate game and asks her to trust him until the time comes to show his hand. In order to discredit Senator Ware Scardon hires an adventuress to disgrace his daughter....
