Naturally affectionate, she longs for love and a happy, quiet, domestic life, but feels there is little chance of her ever gaining her heart's desire, for the men she meets at Big Ben's cabaret, where she is employed as singer and dancer, are not her kind. Ben runs the cabaret as a blind, his real business being "gang leader" and "hold-up man." Hilda's father, a cripple, is a professional beggar, and becomes a bitter enemy of Big Ben's, after the latter abuses him. Shortly after this the gang gets wind of a wealthy young cattle-rancher's presence in town, and plan to rob him. The cripple finds an incriminating note written by "Big Ben," and in revenge starts for the police station to "show it to the cops." Joe Manning, the young ranchman, strolls into Big Ben's place, then Ben goes to Hilda and coerces her into agreeing to help them get the ranchman's money. Hilda immediately attracts Joe's eye. After her "turn" on the stage, he invites her to his table. Realizing the girl's superiority, he gently tells her, "This is no place for you, little girl," and his sincerity makes a good impression. When the gang pounce on Joe, Hilda, seeing the stranger is getting the worst of it, cleverly trips one of the crooks, and the two make their escape through a hidden panel in the wall. Joe and Hilda are nearly cornered by the gang, but the police, brought by the cripple, arrive in time to prevent a tragedy. As Joe takes the brave girl in his arms, Hilda knows she has found Love at last. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
