'George Edwards takes the name-part as a drunkard and a thief. He quarrels with Dr. John Stirling (Godfrey Cass), breaks into the doctor's house, and, being disturbed, shoots a servant. The "Dingo" is caught and sentenced to death, which is commuted to penal servitude for life. His wife dies, and the doctor takes into his care her little baby girl. The Dingo is released and wishes to claim his daughter, now engaged to be married. However, an accident, in which the doctor is sorely tempted, brings the picture to a happy ending.'
