Dr. Langham, Morel's physician, is an old friend of Helen's father, and makes an informal call upon him. He warns Marston that he is slowly killing himself from overstudy, but Marston does not heed. Dr. Langham sees Moret with Helen, and divining his intentions, warns him that a marriage is out of the question. Dr. Langham leaves town shortly afterward, and Moret takes advantage of his absence to call upon Helen again. While at her house one day her father suffers a break-down, and to save his life a transfusion of blood is necessary. Moret, fearing lest he be called a coward, is forced to offer himself for the operation. Fred, who has been summoned by Helen, also offers his blood. The samples of blood are taken for the test. The doctor turns his back for a moment, and Moret, seeing a way to dispose of his rival and shield his own condition, changes the samples, with the result that Fred is told he has an incurable disease, and Moret is chosen for the operation. Old Marston dies before the operation, and Helen is left alone in the world. Fred, believing himself to be doomed, decides to end it then and there. He is seen by Brant, Moret's lieutenant, who persuades Fred to become a member of the Pack. With Fred out of the way, and Helen penniless after a settlement of her father's estate, Moret induces her to marry him. Dr. Langham returns from his trip, and learns of his old friend's death He comes to offer his sympathy and finds that Helen has just married Moret. He sends her out of the room, and then has an interview with Moret. Moret, frightened by the doctor's manner, confesses everything. The doctor is bound by his profession not to divulge his patient's secret, but compels Moret to write a confession, telling him that as long as he stays away from Helen his secret will be safe, but should he ever try to come back, he (Langham) will place the confession in the proper hands. The doctor takes Helen to live with him without explaining about Moret. Langham is unable to find Fred to explain that a mistake has been made, Moret sees him, and guesses what the doctor is trying to do. He tries to force the doctor to return the confession, but to no avail. Moret fears that if Fred ever learns of the trick played upon him, he will kill him (Moret) so he instructs his lieutenant, Brant, to get a man to open the doctor's safe, where the letter is, and secure it. Fred has thrown himself into his new life with such reckless abandon that he has earned the name of "The Wolf." When Brant is looking for someone to do the job for Moret, he chooses Fred. Fred goes to the doctor's house and opens the safe. He finds the confession, opens it and learns of Moret's treachery. Moret, in the meantime, learns that Brant has put "the Wolf" on the job, and in a panic, hurries to the doctor's home in the hope of preventing Fred from learning the contents of the letter. He arrives just as Fred has read the confession, and knowing his only chance is to kill Fred, fires. The shot does not hit Fred, but he pretends it does, and when Moret enters the library to secure the confession, Fred grapples with him, and the fight to the death is on. Fred gets the upper hand, and when Helen and the doctor, attracted by the sounds of the conflict, come into the room, Moret is dead. Fred considers himself more unworthy of Helen than before but the doctor instills new courage into him, and Fred determines to start life anew. Helen promises to go with him.
