A few days later Ralph passes the house of Vincent, a banker, and concluding that no one is at home he decides to ply his trade, that of a sneak thief. The crook is surprised by Ann, the banker's daughter, and is so impressed by her beauty that he abandons his purpose. At that instant the hall is filled with smoke and the house is soon a mass of flames. Knowing that Ann is in the room above and powerless to escape, the thief turns back and carries the girl to a place of safety. He picks up her handkerchief and creeps away before she can express her gratitude. Ralph has learned a lesson and enters a new life. Several years pass and he eaters Vincent's bank, well recommended. Vincent's daughter does not recognize the employee as the stranger who saved her from the fire and the two young people fall deeply in love. Business takes Ralph to the bank one night after hours and he discovers his old pal, Tom, at the vault. A struggle ensues, in which Ralph proves the victor and he leads the thief into the street without disclosing his identity. It happens that Tom sees the scar on Ralph's neck and recognizes his former companion. Ralph proves his mettle when he convinces Vincent and Ann of his honesty, despite the exposure of the captured thief. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
