A bar owner attempts to discredit the new preacher with whom he is feuding by framing him with a photograph showing him drinking with women with bad reputations. The bar owner`s adoptive mother, a member of the minister`s church, supports the preacher and gets the photographic prints. When the bar owner struggles with his mother for the prints, he accidentally kills her. After the preacher`s funeral sermon, the bar owner`s conscience drives him to his death.
