His sister, Grace, is deter mined to bring to justice the men who have caused the fall of the youth, and directs the police to the palatial gambling den mentioned by her brother in his confession.

The police fail to find any evidence, and the girl devises a scheme to overpower the lookout before he can give the signal. Disguised as poor Italians she and a detective have an altercation in front of the den and he attacks her with a stiletto. Her cries bring the proprietor of the den to the front, and he carries the seemingly fainting girl inside. She quickly draws a revolver and covers the astonished men and forces them to open the door for the raiding police. who run upstairs and catch the occupants In the midst of their games.
