Allen manages to keep his anguish of mind from his sweetheart, Madge Dale, who persuades him to accompany her and her mother to their home in a suburban town, where Madge is preparing to give him a party that night. Their conversation is overheard by "Crafty Jim," a professional burglar, and he determines to rob Allen's house. While the party is in progress Allen excuses himself and goes to his home, only to find "Crafty Jim" there. Not desiring to have anything to do with him, Allen tosses Jim his pocketbook and orders him to leave. "Crafty Jim" goes, but in looking through the window sees that Allen is about to drink some poison. Jim tries to make Allen see things in a different light, but Allen will not listen, and a terrible struggle ensues, in which Jim is the winner. He ties Allen to a chair and brings Madge to him. Madge learns of Allen's predicament and, being a wealthy girl, offers him some of her money, which starts business going again for him. Later Allen and Madge do a good turn to "Crafty Jim" by gaining his freedom from jail and starting him on the right path. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
