Synopsis
Wealthy David Strong finds his errant brother about to be robbed by a gang in an underworld joint. David takes his brother's loot, sends him home, and then fights the gang leader, Coast-to-Coast Taylor and several others. His victory and appearance cause him to be mistaken for "The Colt Kid," who was just released from prison. Cabaret singer Joan Grey, to put off the advances of Taylor, says that David is her fiancé. To prove this, David marries her in the joint, after which they live together without consummating the marriage, and fall in love. During a robbery at the wedding of David's sister, at which Taylor has arranged for David to be arrested, Joan warns David and is jailed with him. After the real criminals' arrest, David's mother identifies him, and David's sister identifies Joan as a college friend and author. Joan, confessing she was looking for atmosphere and story materials, agrees to a real marriage with David.
