Violet comes into the city disguised as a country girl, and shortly afterward meets Latham, who is conducting his work under an assumed name. She distrusts him because of his polished manners among the rougher element, and disregards his attempts to warn her of danger. On the other hand, she is attracted in a strange way to Bill Hanlon, notorious in the underworld, who, on his part, feels for the girl, the first decent emotion which has ever entered his heart. He determines that she shall come to no harm. Violet is captured by a gang of crooks and is confined in a tenement attic. Both Hanlon and Latham learn of this and start to rescue her. They meet on the roof, and in their common interest, lay aside their own bitter enmity. They soon find that they can reach the girl only by way of the window, and as a last desperate measure, Latham is swung head-down from the roof by Hanlon, who manages to draw Violet to safety. The escape is discovered, however and the captors cut off access to the stairway from the roof. The ammunition in the revolvers of Latham and Hanlon is soon exhausted, and as the gangsters rush up the stairs, the three make a desperate attempt to reach another roof, crossing on the telegraph wires. Some of the crooks follow, but when the other roof is reached in safety, Latham cuts the wires and the pursuers plunge to death below. Latham and Hanlon manage to reach the river with Violet, but on the wharf, Hanlon sinks down, disclosing for the first time that he is wounded. It is impossible for Latham to save both Hanlon and Violet. The thugs reach the wharf and are getting into a boat when Hanlon, with his remaining strength, holds them at bay with a piece of timber until he is shot down. The arrival of the police results in the capture of the gangsters. Violet succeeds in reaching her home, under Latham's protection, and though nearly exhausted, spends the remainder of the night in writing her wonderful story for the paper. When she hands in her "copy" the next day, she is met with a curt statement from the editor that he wanted a true story and not a faked one. When Violet protests that it is all true, he says that no one would believe it if it were published. Violet remains home in tears over her disappointment, but when Latham comes to her, disclosing his true identity, she finds happiness in the awakening love between them.
