Plot
As described in a film magazine review, Helen, reared as the daughter of the kindly Cyrus Braidwood, discovers that her real father is the crook Lait Rodman, overwhom Braidwood holds a confession of complicity in the death of his wife. Rodman obtains possession of the incriminating document. Helen secretly enters Rodman's apartment to search for the vanished paper and encounters Steve Randall, a wealthy young bachelor. Each takes the other as being a crook. They become trapped in the thieves' underground den which becomes flooded, and they barely escape. Matters are finally adjusted and the two agree to wed.
