Synopsis
When members of the military discover that Thomas Leigh, a shipyard owner with a government contract, has a criminal past, they send John Gray, a secret agent, to investigate. Hired as a draftsman, Gray soon falls in love with Dorothy, Leigh's daughter, but is challenged by Charles Bergere, a foreign spy. Informed of Leigh's shady past by a shifty worker, Bergere attempts to blackmail Leigh into giving up his secret plans. When a friend of Gray's overhears Bergere's threats, he tells Gray, who prepares to catch Leigh in a treasonous act. As arranged, Leigh goes to see Bergere, but refuses to relinquish the plans, giving the spy permission to tell all to Dorothy. After overhearing this conversation, Dorothy demands to know the truth, which Leigh relates in detail, revealing that his youthful love of drink caused his mother's death and led him into a criminal life. Assured of his reformation, Dorothy forgives her father and scorns Bergere, who then tries to take the plans at gunpoint, but is overcome by Gray.

Notes
This film was copyrighted under the title The Rose of the Alley. Metro appears to have used substantial footage from a 1916 film called Rose of the Alley, which starred Mary Miles Minter, and edited it into this film as a flashback sequence. The discrepancy in the character name "Dorgan" ("Drogan" in the 1916 film) May have been a typographical error in the copyright submission. Charles Horan directed the earlier film; Harry O. Hoyt and Jackie Saunders wrote the scenario.
