Alexander throws the police off the track and then explains a scheme whereby with his aid Marx can be made mayor of a small town within a year. Marx accepts the proposition. A year later finds Marx leading a new life. He is a respected citizen and mayor of the town. He has also won the love of a good woman and his fortune has reached the quarter-million mark. At the height of his prosperity Alexander appears and demands that Marx split with him. Marx tells his erstwhile companion that he would rather go to jail than return to his old life of crime. The following morning Alexander tells Marx that he must return to New York with him. Marx demurs, but Alexander overcomes his objections and accompanies him to the metropolis. The two men are next seen at an exclusive club where Alexander introduces his friend as "The notorious crook, Marx." Alexander then explains that he has wagered at the club that he could reform the criminal, Marx, within two years. Marx now acknowledges that he owes Alexander everything and assures him that he need not fear for his future. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
