The O'Farrells, who live in a modest flat in Manhattan, have three sons whom they cherish: Jimmy, a policeman; John, an ambulance surgeon; and Dennis, who, unknown to them, is a racketeer. Jimmy gets a promotion and is detailed to work on a murder case involving the Muller gang. Kathleen Doyle, engaged to Jimmy, attends a party at Muller's luxurious home and there learns that "Silk" is a killer hired by Muller. Later, when a man is injured in a brawl, John answers a call and discovers that his brother Dennis is actually the underworld leader, Muller. Jimmy and Kathleen meet, and she tells him of her discovery but is overheard by members of the gang, who then set a trap for the officer. Dennis learns of the rendezvous, rushes to save Jimmy, but is shot down by his own men and dies in his brother's arms; his parents are told he has gone on another long and mysterious ...
