Jack Wayburn and Tom Ryan, his pal, earn their living by thieving. Wayburn goes to the bank, and is surprised to learn that Roy Barton, his college chum, is the cashier of the bank whose president is Roy’s father. He confides this to Ryan, and tells him that he has been invited to the banker’s home. Wayburn makes an immediate hit with Florence, the banker’s romantic daughter. Wayburn, learning that Barton’s butler has left, ‘phones to Ryan instructing him to apply for the position, which he does. Ryan is engaged. Calling at the bank, Wayburn sees Roy receive the combination of the safe, and determines to secure it. This he manages to do. He then succeeds in procuring the keys of the bank by a ruse. That night, Roy loses heavily at his club. Meanwhile, Wayburn, taking advantage of romantic Florence, induces her to consent to elope. Accompanied by Ryan, Wayburn enters the bank at midnight and overcomes the watchman. Then they loot the bank. The next morning, Roy, unconscious of the robbery, leaves for the bank. On strong circumstantial evidence, Roy is accused of the robbery and in the custody of a detective starts for prison. Florence and Wayburn hastily depart on their wedding trip, not knowing of her brother’s arrest. The banker is stunned when he learns of his daughter’s marriage. Roy, taking advantage of the detective’s negligence, makes his escape. Florence learns of the trouble at home, and, with Wayburn, returns. Wayburn and Ryan rob the home safe of the banker, who discovers them. He is attacked, but receives assistance from Roy, who has also returned. The police arrive in time to arrest Ryan, Wayburn escaping. He later returns to the house, and falls into a trap laid by Florence. He escapes in an automobile, which is wrecked by a train. Bruised and bleeding, he is found by the police. Ryan, subjected to the “third degree,” confesses and accuses Wayburn. The banker, convinced of his son’s innocence, eagerly welcomes him back to his home.
