Plot

As described in a film magazine,[2] country village maiden Doris Moore (Cooper) listens intently to the wooing of Harry Leland (Serrano), a crook who is in the neighborhood with Pop Clark (Ferguson), another professional crook. Believing in his promise of marriage, Doris goes with Harry and Pop when they return to the city. Kate Fallon (Ware), a boarding house keeper, protects Doris from Harry, but she becomes involved in a plot to rob William Lake (Sage), a wealthy westerner. Doris swings around to the right side when she meets William and love springs into being. The crooks are defeated in their designs and William and Doris are then brought into happiness.
