He frightens Jim away, then after a fake struggle introduces himself to Sis as just having saved her life. He makes violent love to Sis and gets her to steal her father’s coin and elope. She does so, and he and Sis go to the city. Jim comes from his hiding place. The father tells Jim to go after the girl, and he (Jim) can have both her and the money. He arrives in the great city alone. Meantime Bill has taken Sis to a cabaret and filled her with milk. She desires to go in for cabaret singing and takes a dancer’s place.

Jim, having by this time reached the cabaret and fallen a victim to a vampire’s wiles, hears the plot and follows the roughneck. The roughneck goes to a shed and makes his change and then to the exterior of Bill’s house. Here Jim leaps on him and knocks him out takes the coat, hat and goggles and thus disguised as a minister, goes inside to rescue Sis.
