- José Fernand, leader of a gang of bootleggers, has designs on Helen Barnes, a shop girl who supports her delicate sister, and with the aid of Olive Wood, an adventuress, he lures the sisters to a supposed yachting trip. At sea, Helen is attacked by Fernand and dashes to the wireless operator for assistance, but a storm arises and an SOS is barely sent before the ship sinks. An ocean liner, picking up the call, starts for the rescue, and Jack Seville, Helen's sweetheart, a Navy aviator, comes by plane. The sisters and Fernand are cast up on an island and are there sheltered by a hermit, its only inhabitant. Seville and his pilot make a forced landing, and following a struggle between Seville and Fernand the entire party is rescued by the ocean liner.
- Two young boys get in trouble with the law and wind up in prison. One, who was raised in poverty in the slums, goes to a reformatory and picks up tips on how to become a master criminal. When he gets out he refines his criminal skills, but a stool-pigeon rats him out and he winds up in an adult prison, where he is subjected to severely-regimented behavior, inhuman conditions, and brutal guards. The second boy comes from a wealthy family and is sent to prison for forging his father's signature--coincidentally, the same prison where the poor boy, who had been released but is back in for assaulting the stoolie, and he become friends. When a member of the poor boy's gang is unjustly sentenced to death for the stoolie's murder, the two boys escape to try to clear his name and find the real killer.
- Hated by his blacksmith father because of his crippled arm, Amos Deming grows up with a keen spiritual insight and a talent for making toys for children. Emily Preston, who lives next door to the Demings, is ostracized by the community because her brother is in jail, but Amos is able to break down her wall of bitterness. When Preston is freed, Krieg tries to implicate him in the murder of Dodd, a lumberman, and threatens Emily with dire consequences if she should talk. Answering Emily's calls for help, Amos struggles with Krieg and miraculously finds his arm cured. Stunned, Krieg stumbles outside into the waiting arms of the law, and Amos receives love and acceptance from his father and Emily.
- Dr. John Brandon, who cares for charity patients in the slums, is thrown together with writer Norma Ashley when her car strikes a boy whom Brandon treats. Under Norma's influence, and against the wishes of his friend Father Farrell, Brandon leaves the slums and becomes the partner of Dr. Thurston, who, unknown to Brandon, is Norma's fiance. Now prosperous, Brandon flies into a rage when he hears Thurston and Norma ridiculing him, and proceeds to beat Thurston and choke Norma to within an inch of her life. Taking to alcohol and drugs in his grief, Brandon becomes a derelict and goes out West to a mission town, where his loud proclamations of atheism provoke the wrath of a saloon crowd, from which his old friend Farrell rescues him. Farrell, now working in the Western parish, gradually restores the faith of Brandon, who falls in love with Mary Harrison, a blind girl who prays continually for her sight. Brandon performs an operation on Mary's eyes and her sight returns. Norma, who has found Brandon in the parish town, cannot persuade him to return to the city or to leave Mary, who accepts Brandon's love.
