Synopsis
On the eve of his wedding, reform politician Larry Cavendish sees his fiancée, Caryl Rundlege, emerge from a crashed automobile and disappear with the notorious one-armed political crook Dan Levarro. That night, Larry reads a note from Caryl cancelling the wedding because she has to perform a higher duty. After getting little help from the police, Larry disguises himself as a beggar and locates Levarro and Caryl at a beggar's lodge. During a chase along the rooftops, Caryl is shot dead by a stray bullet and Larry pushes Levarro to the pavement. Larry carries Caryl's body through the underworld until he is captured in a Chinatown opium den. When the police arrive, led by Caryl, and save him, Larry discovers that the dead girl was Caryl's twin sister, an opium addict whom Caryl was trying to help. The couple are reunited and the criminals are arrested.
