Synopsis
Chuck Collins, owner of a cabaret and master criminal, notices that a rival gang is fleecing his patrons of their jewels and cash. Chuck tricks them into handing the loot over to members of his own gang. Chuck's accomplice, Helen, owns a costume shop that is used as a blind for the gang's activity; there, real jewels can be left about in boxes and containers as if they were paste. Helen's employee, Sunshine, a candid ingenue, persuades the group--Chuck, his partner Curly, and Helen--to reform, while members of the other gang, led by a man named Red, are brought to justice.
