Plot


As described in a review in a film magazine, while waiting for Jack (McKee), with whom she intends to elope, Barbara (Boardman) is accosted in her bedroom by Phil (Metcalfe), a boarder in her home, who is maddened with jealousy. Her screams attract her aged stepfather. She faints and Phil leaves the room in time to be met by the stepfather (Weigel), whom he kills. Peter, Jack's dog, witnesses the murder through the window. Phil escapes and Jack arrives just in time to be in a compromising position. He is convicted of the murder. Peter gains the confidence of the warden and carries messages between Jack and Barbara. When Jack escapes, Peter holds off the guards. Barbara and Jack and Peter cross the border. In a Mexican town they recognize Phil. Barbara lures Phil to their place of hiding, when Peter breaks loose and pursues the villain. After a long chase Peter finally is able to hold Phil at bay until the authorities arrive, when he confesses to the crime.
