He has attempted to assist a poor family who are threatened with eviction by Copeland, a millionaire tenement house owner. He gains the enmity of Barns, a detective, who comes to arrest him for the murder, and only the confession of Joe Pagliano saves Ramon from being charged with Copeland's death. Joe tells of murdering Copeland because he turned a deaf ear to Joe's pleas that his baby was starving and he could not pay his rent, and then dies from wounds received in the battle with Copeland. Ramon assists the Pagliano family and becomes interested in Nedra, Joe's eighteen-year-old daughter. This growing love is blasted by Jimmy, a slum boy, who has been acting as Ramon's ferret. He says that Nedra is associated with a band of thieves. Ramon goes that night to see for himself. While Nedra is breaking into a house Ramon sees a girl being kidnapped. He recognizes her as a girl whose life he saved in an auto accident. He battles with the kidnappers, but is outnumbered. They pursue Ramon and the harbor police engage in a running duel as the kidnappers are fleeing with the girl in a motorboat. Ramon rescues the girl in the nick of time. He learns that her uncle was attempting to do away with her so as to come into her property. Grace recalls Ramon's previous heroism in saving her life, and it is evident that Ramon has found someone who is going to become the heroine of his real-life novel.
