Before they left England the Rowley family had been mill workers, so the detective begins a search of mills in the cities. He locates Annie in Philadelphia, but conceives the idea of winning the girl's heart before telling of her good fortune, with the idea of gaining control of the money himself. His plans are well laid and he succeeds in impressing the girl, much to the sorrow of Jim Graham, her "poor but honest" sweetheart. The Rowley family is a large one, but it doesn't daunt the detective. He lakes them all automobiling and otherwise makes a "good fellow" of himself. In Bing street, where the Rowleys live, Waters becomes known as "Annie Rowley's dude." Jim Graham is naturally suspicious of Waters, and one day confronts him, asking his object in courting Annie. Waters declares that he is a rich man and intends to marry the girl. Jim realizes that he has no right to interfere if Annie wants to marry Waters, who has wealth to offer, Jim decides to give up the girl. But when Waters finally proposes, Annie finds that her heart really belongs to Jim and hesitates to become engaged, despite the urging of Waters and her mother. She says she wants time to think. That night when Waters leaves her house, he has to pass a corner, the hangout of the neighborhood toughs. The toughs dislike "the dude" and pick a fight with him. Annie sees the fight from her doorstep, and rushes for assistance. She finds Jim and begs him for her sake, to save Waters from the gang. For her sake Jim goes to the rescue and is being beaten himself when the police arrive and arrest all hands. A cut over Jim's eyes is all Annie needs to know that she loves him. The prisoners are searched at the station house, papers are found on the detective which prove what he is and apprise Annie of her good fortune. Jim guesses she doesn't want him, now that she's rich, but she tells him she really loved him all the time and loves him more than ever now and needs a manager for the mill she's going to run.
