Harold Armytage is entertaining a party of sporting and race-course associates when Squire Armytage returns and orders his son's companions out of the house and bids Harold choose between them and him. Father and son part in anger, and Harold prepares to go to London after an interview with Bess Marks, his sweetheart. Bess refuses to be parted from Harold and they plan to go away together. They are married in London and soon after, when looking for work, Harold meets one of his old racing friends, who persuades him to go to the races. There his friends, in collusion with a bookmaker, put Harold on to a "wrong un" and Harold, ruined, goes home to Bess and confesses the truth. The pinch of poverty comes and the landlady turns them out. They tramp back to his father's home in the hope that his father will forgive him, or at least help Bess
