Morgan is wont to regard the work of the evangelist as a financial venture, and doubts the sincerity of the preacher and his fellow-workers. Morgan offers to bet that he can go out on the same corner in evangelist's garb, and in three evenings make as many converts as the preacher. His proposition is accepted. In her room in the cheap section of the city, Lizzie is having an altercation with Bennie, an underworld character. She hands him the money she has in her purse, and after they have drunk of the liquor Lizzie has brought in, Bennie rolls over and goes to sleep. The following evening Morgan appears on the corner and starts to preach. Soon a large gathering is listening to him. As Lizzie is passing the spot, following a man who has given her the sign, she hears the words of Morgan, and pauses. They make a deep impression. The next evening she also has occasion to pass the place where Morgan is preaching, and gets closer into the crowd. She returns to her room and indicates that she is tired of the life she is leading. At the saloon where she meets Bennie she acts indifferently and walks away, leaving him there. After the second evening's work, however, Morgan begins to take the work seriously. On the third evening Lizzie is about to rush out to listen to the preacher once more when she is detected by Bennie, who follows. In the crowd Bennie steals a bill fold, and places it in Lizzie's pocket so that she is caught with the goods and arrested. At the station a policeman tells of how he saw Bennie transfer the pocketbook to Lizzie's pocket, and she is liberated. Bennie has made good his escape, and returns to their room. When Lizzie returns he attacks her. Morgan, who has followed Lizzie to the police station, has also followed her to the room and rescues her just in time. They decide to go out and serve their Master together, and the next night are seen preaching together on the same corner. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
