Barbara Grey is the “little. mother"
of a weak and selfish younger brythcr

and works as cashier for a lumber
0 company in a small town that she may
maintain their home. Tony Grey is
the pal of Jack Newtonaon of Bar-
bara's employer. Jack is his evil
genius. and it is the boy's desire to
emulate him. that leads him into mis-
chief. And Barbara pays the price.
She is troubled because Tony fre-
quents the pool room operated by one
“Stir-k" simmons. but her repeated en-
treaties do not have any effect. She.
does not realize that when she rejects
the attention of Jack Newton she has
made an enemy of him. Attaching no
importance to this. she does not even
tell Harry Chambers, her lawyer
swwtheart. But Jack does not forget.
Desperate because of the money he
owes Simmons, he determines to use
Tony Grey to get it. And Tony. eager
to get away from Waterburg and his
sister’s authority, falls in with his
plans. Late at night Jack Newton en-
