The only good son (James Dunn) has ill fortune. He is wrongfully imprisoned. On his release, he goes to Alaska on a mining trip which lasts so long that his return seems unlikely...
When he comes back, he finds that his salary of $80 per month which his mother should have been receiving has been appropriated by the worst of her brood, the hypocrite.
