Arriving at the large, ornamental iron gates leading into the grounds, the elder tries, but without success, to unlock the fastening. There is nothing else left but for one of them to climb over, and this falls to the lot of the younger man. The bag is passed over to him and be creeps up to a window. He climbs in, opens a drawer, and finds a number of valuables which he places in his bag. Looking about, he finds that he is in the bedroom of the daughter of the house. He looks at her and is so struck with her beauty that he cannot find it in his heart to rob her. He turns back to his bag, and taking the trinkets out, replaces them. At the gates, his pal eagerly asks the extent of the spoil. He replies that he has none. The next day the young fellow waits at the gate of her house. Luck is on his side, for she comes out, and fumbling with the handle, happens to drop her handbag, which Jack immediately picks up and returns. A week later we see the young lady waiting on a seat for her lover, for such Jack has now become. Later. Jack calls upon her at her home, proposes and is accepted. Returning to his room, Jack's happiness is marred by the sight of a communication addressed to him from his old confederate. It reads that next day the races will be held, and that there is every chance of doing good "business." The next day dawns and Jack feels compelled to answer the summons. At the races the two thieves get to work. Jack steals a lady's bag, unaware that behind him a cinematograph machine, pointed at the race course, is also recording his every action. Some time after Jack takes his fiancée to a picture show, and there sees himself stealing the bag. The girl leaves him. Jack wanders to a seat by the roadside, and there sees a gentleman drop a wallet of notes. Hurrying after the gentleman, he returns the notes and is given a substantial reward. At his lodging the other thief turns up and tries to get Jack to help in another robbery. The youngster refuses and stares lovingly at the photo of the girl. The man, seeing this, snatches the likeness from his hand and flings it on the floor. This is more than Jack can stand, and, catching hold of the villain, he kicks him out of the room. Some time after Jack is instrumental in saving his sweetheart's house from being robbed by his former companion who, as he leaves the grounds, runs into the arms of a waiting policeman. Jack now having proven his worth, once more presents himself, and after pleading with the girl of his heart, their former sweet relations are resumed.
