The story opens with Jimmie, at this point a young boy, trying by himself to fight a gang of boys from an opposing neighborhood. He is saved by his friend, Pete, and comes home to his sister Maggie, his toddling brother Tommie, his brutal and drunken father and mother, Mary Johnson. The parents terrify the children until they are shuddering in the corner... Nellie, a woman of brilliance and audacity convinces Pete to leave Maggie, whom she calls a little pale thing with no spirit. Thus abandoned, Maggie tries to return home but is rejected by her mother and scorned by the entire tenement...
