Micky goes back to his former manner of living and tries to induce Tom to do likewise. Tom, however, is tired of an underworld existence and determines to be "straight." Hence he breaks with Micky and they both pursue different paths. Tom finds employment with good folks, and gets along nicely, until one day, while out walking with his sweetheart (the maid servant in the house where he is employed), he meets Micky. Anxious to forget his past and to avoid making explanations to his sweetheart, Tom snubs his former pal. Micky decides to fix him. He goes back to his hovel and writes an anonymous letter, informing Tom's employers that Tom is an ex-convict. Tom after his outing comes home feeling sorry that he had snubbed Micky. He writes him a letter apologizing and encloses some money. Tom's employers disregard the letter which Micky has written. However, their suspicions are aroused, and so they decide to test Tom's honesty. Before going to the opera, they place on a dresser within the sight of Tom an imitation pearl necklace worth 15 cents. Micky, who is "laying for" Tom, goes to the house that very night and steals the imitation pearl necklace. This happens about the time Tom's employers return from the opera. Tom is near their auto smoking a pipe. He is watching the car while the chauffeur is having a drink. Thus employed, Tom sights an object skulking in the backyard. He hides as the object approaches the car. Then when he recognizes Micky, he makes a spring for him and demands an explanation. Micky shows fight. During the struggle, Tom's pipe lands in the car and sets it on fire. Tom's employers confront him and although he explains they are not satisfied. His record is against him. They have him discharged. Micky returns home and finds Tom's letter of apology and the money enclosed. He is full of remorse and returns and straightens things out for Tom.
