Red is arrested and at the station house he squeals on his confederates. Another member of the notorious gang, a newspaper reporter, learns of Red's squealing and informs the gang. Masters suggests that they separate for a year and live an honest life. The members of the gang agree, and just after the booty has been divided they hear the police trying to break down the door. Masters and Cora exit through a secret passage that leads into a sewer and escape. The police, not finding any visible trace of the secret passage referred to by Red, disbelieve him and take him to jail. Meanwhile, Masters forges a fake recommendation and secures a position with the Alden Mfg. Co. Cora is a stenographer with a reputable concern. One day Alden gives Masters a package of valuable papers to deliver to his home and the crook again meets Helen. This errand is executed without the temptation of stealing entering his brain, and when Cora, who is handed a large sum of money to deposit, calls him up on the wire and tempts him to help her steal it. He refuses and says that he is going to adhere to his promise not to steal. Red is released from prison and with revenge in his heart, starts out to find Masters. Just about this time the gang meet and Masters vows that he is not going back to his former life. As he leaves the rendezvous, Cora follows him to the home of Helen and as he is proposing to her, Cora rushes in and tells of Masters' past life. Masters tells Helen that it is true and the poor girl is heartbroken. Red enters and is about to take the life of Masters, when the latter tells him that he is going back to his old life. Cora takes Masters and his confederates to her old place of business and as the master crook is working at the safe, Cora, in a spirit of revenge, telephones for the police. The newspaper reporter calls up Masters as he is bending over the safe and informs him that Cora has squealed. He escapes, enters a manhole and the street caves in. Cora discovers Masters under a pile of debris and he dies in her arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
