William Janney (Tim) is framed for the murder of a policeman and his sister Lila Lee (Nora) sets out to prove his innocence. William 'Stage' Boyd, who liked a drink in real-life, plays a gangland boss who likes a drink. He's a bad guy who has a girlfriend Betty Compson (Kitty) whom he treats badly and she teams up with Lila for revenge with the help of undercover policeman Monte Blue (Dan).

The two lead females are good and the story gives you some tense moments and sequences, eg, the nightclub sequence when Boyd gets his mobsters to surround Blue on the dancefloor so he can test if Blue is undercover or not. The inevitable confrontation is approaching....
