Their first thought is to renovate the prison. All doors are thrown open. Turkish rugs are spread over the floors. A symphony orchestra is engaged to entertain the prisoners. Refreshments are served to the condemned. Receptions for the prisoners and tango teas are the order of the day. An old rounder is arrested, but when he discovers the delightful condition he pleads guilty to every crime of which he can think. His wife arrives and causes his release. News of the new condition spreads like wildfire. Lee tells Eddie, newly married. Eddie eludes his young wife and overturns a fruit vendor's stand for the sole purpose of getting arrested. He also partakes of the delights of jail life, until his wife drags him back home. Lee and Eddie are invited to raise a riot by the old chief and his court of grafters. But in the hands of the pretty policewomen the rioters are as docile as lambs. This heyday, however, does not last. The administration gets "wise" to the carryings-on. A radical change is instituted. The girls are discharged and in their places is installed a force composed of homely old maids disappointed in love. Husbands return to the bosom of their families Lee and Eddie would now, alas, enjoy their freedom, but they are doomed to serve their term with the rest of the grafters.
