 A bar owner (Spencer Williams) attempts to discredit the new preacher with whom he is feuding by framing him with a photograph showing him drinking with women with bad reputations. The bar owner s adoptive mother, a member of the minister s church, supports the preacher and gets the photographic prints. When the bar owner struggles with his mother for the prints, he accidently kills her. After the preacher s funeral sermon, the bar owner s conscience drives him to his death.
