The play opens with a happy scene in the home of Hal, the erring brother. Through the persuasions of a friend, Hal begins to frequent a questionable pool room. His brother, Paul, a cleric, warns him against his evil associates, but Hal disregards Paul’s counsels. In a short time he begins to play for money. He gets into a game with a young man, who unknown to him, is a notorious counterfeiter, one of a gang whose headquarters are under the pool room, and of which the pool room proprietor is a member. In settling the stakes, Hal is handed a couple of crisp new bills. One of these he unwittedly passes on a local merchant. In the meantime, a detective has been on the trail of the counterfeiters and has begun to suspect Hal. When the merchant shows him the “queer” and describes the man who “shoved” it on him, the detective begins a search for Hal. The latter is warned by a pal and goes to his brother Paul for counsel. Paul persuades Hal to let him (Paul) takes Hal’s place. Accordingly, the brothers (who are twins) exchange vestures. Hal donning Paul’s clerical raiment and Paul assuming his brother’s layman’s attire. The detective arrives and arrests Paul, who is subsequently convicted and committed to prison, while Hal attempts to carry on his brother’s work. In the course of his itinerant preaching he strikes upon a clue which leads to the discovery and capture of the counterfeiters. In the gun play which takes place between the police and the criminals, the young counterfeiter is fatally wounded. Hal persuades him to confess. Paul is now pardoned and resumes his missionary work. The closing scenes show Paul preaching to a crowd, with Hal and his family in attendance.
