As described in a film magazine review,[4] while playing with his younger brother Donnegan, Lord Nick is the cause of his injury and, when he learns that the youngster may die, he leaves home and becomes a vagabond. However, the boy does not die, and when he becomes older he sets out to find his older brother. He has several thrilling encounters, among which is one with a bully who shoots and wounds Donnegan rather severely. It develops after the shooting that the man who committed the crime is the brother for whom he had been searching. After a reconciliation, there is happiness among the parties.
