Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dick passes the entrance examinations to a big military academy, and very much pleased, he calls upon his sweetheart to tell her of his good fortune. She promises to wait for him and be faithful to him. He leaves his home town, assuring Alice that he will never forget her and will return after graduation to claim her as his wife. He enters school. In the company of his fellow students he visits different girls known as the belles of the college town. He meets Helen Jackson, the college widow, who is being “rushed” by Dale. She likes Dick and they are soon going to parties and dances together, much to Dale’s disgust. Still under Helen’s fascination, the boy does not write to Alice who is heartbroken at his neglect. Dale, of a jealous disposition, looks about for some way to become revenged on the chap who has taken his girl away. One of the students receives a five hundred dollar bill which he places in an envelope and leaves in his room. Dale steals this and hides it in Dick’s desk. It is found there by the officer in charge of the barracks who is searching the entire building. Dick is branded as a thief and is expelled in dishonor. He goes to Helen to assure her of his innocence, but she does not believe him and refuses to have anything to do with him. Returning home, his parents comfort him and Alice forgives him and believes in his innocence. At the academy, the envelope in which the five hundred dollar bill came is found in Dale’s coat and he is accused and forced to admit his guilt. He is expelled and Dick is recalled and honorably installed among his fellow students. He has learned a lesson, however, for when Helen meets him and tries to make up with him, he puts her out of his life and remains faithful to the girl who has been faithful to him.
