Wilson is trying to track down "the mysterious hand" to which many robberies in the town are imputed, little dreaming that the burglar is none other than the father of the girl he loves. Quinn, a pal of Rich, jealous of Wilson, gives away the secret at police headquarters, and also reveals to the horrified Clara her father's vocation. An inspector bids Wilson come with him to arrest the thief. In Rich's apartment, however, Clara contrives to throw her arms about her lover and hold him while her father makes his escape, locking the door behind him. The fugitive is headed off below by the inspector, and Wilson putting several bullets through the lock, manages to wrench the door open. When he and Clara reach the hall downstairs, they find the inspector unhurt, but Rich lies dead with Wilson's bullet in his heart. The young detective takes the grief-stricken girl in his arms.
