Synopsis

Down on his luck after his discharge from the Armed Services, Henry Warner snatches a gentleman's wallet, then rushes into the home of a wealthy man named Middleton to escape the police. Middleton threatens to expose Henry unless he steals a certain document for him which is hidden in the home of his nephew Craig. Henry traces Craig to the modest abode of Ruth Orton, who has been left penniless by her father's death. Through Ruth, with whom he has fallen in love, Henry obtains an invitation to a reception at which Craig intends to announce his engagement to Ruth. The document in Craig's safe is the late Mr. Orton's will, in which he bequeathed his entire fortune to Ruth, but which Middleton had earlier falsified to his own advantage. Having saved Ruth from the machinations of both crooks, Henry gives her the will with a declaration of his love.
