A mother pleads with the doctor to save her child's life, but the case is hopeless. The child dies. The mother pleads with the angel for her child when death's revelation of the child's future life appears, first at the head of his school class, later showing him in love, then happily married. He is a trusted employee, but he is later tempted by a woman whom he meets through a friend and he steals at the woman's command. Overhearing by chance that he is duped by the friend and the woman, he strangles the woman, and the vision fades out and the mother hands her baby to "The Angel of Death."
