Allen Kent leaves his home to seek fortune, but fortune is found to be elusive. There is a saying that the unnoticed passing of a stranger in a crowd, may, by the least turn to one side or another, become the deciding factor of one’s whole life. Allen comes upon the parting of the ways, and he is undecided whether to take the left-hand path or the right. However, he chooses, and his pathway leads him into the life of a pugilist. After five years. Allen finds himself without money, without friends, and one who has lost his cunning in the squared circle. Again he finds himself seated on a bench facing two pathways, and he wonders what would have happened if he had taken the other path that day five years ago. Allen determines to find out, and in so doing, discovers that the straight and narrow way is the only course which leads to health, prosperity and love.
