Tommy Frazer, a product of Hell's Kitchen, is sentenced to a prison term for forgery; upon his release, he meets Ann Whittaker, a bank clerk, and they decide to rob the bank where she works. She obtains references whereby Tommy is also employed there, and banker Denton Drew trusts them implicitly. When an unusually large deposit is made, Tommy takes the money and meets Ann at a railroad station, only to find that he is unable to go through with his plan. With Ann's consent he sets out to return the money but is waylaid by his former gang associates. Drew, however, has arranged a fake deposit as a test for Tommy; and when the latter confesses, Drew feels that Tommy has proved himself and marks him for a promotion. Tommy and Ann set out on a fresh path together.
