At the rooming house where Bennie puts up, he meets Annie Evans, a shop girl. Billings, a libertine drummer, employed by the same department where Annie works, is attracted by her beauty and tries to force his attentions upon her. When she repeatedly resists him, he causes her discharge from the store, believing that lack of funds will compel her to yield to him. Threatened with ejection from the house because she is behind in her rent, Annie unwillingly accepts money from Billings, who advances it to give him a hold upon her. The reformed Bennie. unsuccessful in his search for work, interprets Annie's relations to Billings in the worst light. Deeming it no crime to take money from such a woman as he believes Annie to be, he steals the money Billings gave her. Annie has decided to return the money to Billings, but when she discovers that it has been stolen, she thinks she is irrevocably in his power and accompanies him to a private room in a café. Meanwhile Bennie has secured work, and tortured by the thought that he has broken his promise to the chaplain, he goes to repay Annie. A note in her room reveals to him that Annie is an innocent victim of Billings' plotting. He reaches the café barely in time to save Annie from the "Bird of Prey."
