- Ne'er-do-well Jack Burkshaw returns home after a 10-year absence to find his widowed mother remarried to wealthy Eugene Alston. Finding himself out-of-place among his newly-acquired relatives, Jack accepts the position as manager of a stock farm owned by his stepfather. Under Jack's management, the farm prospers, winning him the respect of his stepsister Marion. When stepbrother Jerry refuses to marry stenographer Barbara Manning, who is pregnant by him, and instead becomes engaged to socialite Laurel Baxter, Jack, outraged, kidnaps Jerry and forces him to perform manual labor on the farm. Jerry finally comes to his senses and agrees to marry Barbara, and the Alston family accepts Jack as a valuable family member.—Pamela Short
- The story deals with Jack Burkshaw, a young man who has plenty of character and is extremely likable, but who has failed to make good in business. Out west he has a sudden longing to see his mother again. He has not seen her for ten years, since the time that his father threw him out of his home for misbehavior. Jack decides to go back home, but he has considerable difficulty in locating his mother. Finally he finds that his father has died and that his mother has married again. Jack finds that his mother's second husband is a wealthy, aristocratic individual, who is the father of a son and a daughter by his first marriage. The son and daughter are aristocratic and high and mighty like their father, and Jack fails to fit in well in the family. Finally it comes to the point where Jack is accused of the theft of a necklace belonging to a friend of the daughter. Jack goes to a farm and there he is happy and contented until he finds that his stepbrother is a rather bad egg. Then Jack sets himself the task of making his stepbrother do the right thing. The manner in which Jack succeeds in this laudable effort and the reward which comes to him constitutes a mighty entertaining drama.—Moving Picture World synopsis
