Their mother dies, and Jack becomes a doctor, while Dan gets an appointment on the police force in New York. Dan sees a woman committing a bribery. The woman turns out to be "Slick Kitty," a noted crook, and Dan is promoted for his capture to a police lieutenancy. About this time Jack comes to New York and hangs out his shingle as a doctor, obtaining many patients through Dan's influence. He falls in love with Edna Madison, a charming young girl, whose mother has obtained a foothold in society. One day Dan happens to see his brother, Jack, leaving Edna and her mother, and learns of Jack's love for Edna. The mother's face looks strangely familiar to him and on close inspection he recognizes Mrs. Madison as "Slick Kitty." Shortly afterward Mrs. Madison gives a reception. Jim Henderson, a member of the light-fingered fraternity, is courting Edna, posing as a man-about-town. He 'phones Mrs. Madison that he intends to attend the reception. Mrs. Madison tries to dissuade him, but he persists, and in order not to have him expose her criminal record, she is compelled to yield to his wishes. Dan, meanwhile, has become a headquarters man. He attends the reception with the idea of saving Jack from an unfortunate alliance by exposing Mrs. Madison as "Slick Kitty." He recognizes Henderson and keeps his eye on him. Presently one of the guests misses a necklace. Henderson has stolen it, and unknown to Edna, he drops it in her vanity bag. Then he goes into the library to avoid trouble. Mrs. Madison sees what has happened and immediately changes her vanity bag for that of her daughter. Dan, seeing this exchange, accuses Mrs. Madison and locks her and Edna in the library. Jack is stationed at the window outside the library. When Dan addresses Mrs. Madison as "Slick Kitty," Henderson pulls out a pistol to shoot him. Jack jumps through the window and seizes Henderson before he has time to pull the trigger. The pistol goes off in the ensuing struggle and Henderson is killed. When Dan learns that Jack intends to marry Edna, he slips the necklace in the pocket of the dead crook. The necklace is subsequently restored to its owner, and for the sake of Jack and Edna, Dan doesn't betray the fact that Mrs. Madison has ever been known in criminal circles as "Slick Kitty."
