Two warders rush into a forge and ask the blacksmith to help them catch a convict that has just escaped. The blacksmith's boy watches this before going to the graveyard to put some flowers at his mother's grave. At the graveyard the convict pops up behind a tombstone. He asks the boy to help him to get some food. The boy returns with not only food, but also with a tool, which the convict uses to free himself from his shackles.

He sends the grownup boy a letter, where he says that he has placed £5000 at the boy's disposal with the General Bank of Australia in London. The convict returns to England and is captured by the police while visiting the boy, who is now working at an office. The boy has to bring the sad news to the convict's wife and daughter. A dying prisoner confesses that he was the one who committed the crime that the convict was condemned for. The convict returns to his family as a free man, where he betroths his daughter to the boy.
