John Clancy, a young ambitious member of the police force, receives a commission to run down a band of thieves. Nancy Batterson's father is the leader of the gang, and she has been brought up absolutely without moral ideas. She has been assisting her father in his "work," but has been suffering from an instinctive revulsion of feeling in helping the gang, and at last fights against her father's wish. When he agrees that the job he wants her to do will be the last one she consents. Meanwhile Clancy has been shadowing a notorious gangster by the name of Jim Hogan and discovers the rendezvous of the thieves. Hogan is in love with Nancy, and after the gang has left the house Hogan tries to force his unwelcome attentions upon Nancy. Clancy, who has entered the house after the departure of the gang, overhears the struggle between Nancy and Hogan and rushes in to save her. Hogan is beaten in the scuffle and escapes to find the gang. Clancy tells who he is, and in turn discovers that she is one of the gang. The gang returns and vows to get Clancy. That night Nancy is forced to go to the house selected for her to rob, and Hogan, fearing some traitorous action on her part, shadows her. Clancy is also on the job and shadows Hogan. Clancy follows Nancy and Hogan into the house and saves Nancy by making her leave before the owner of the house discovers them. Hogan is made the prisoner and Clancy takes them away. He turns the prisoner over to another policeman and goes to Nancy's home to make sure that no harm befalls her. Hogan trips up his captor and escapes to the house, where he surprises Clancy listening to Nancy telling the gang of her failure. The gang drag Clancy into the room and fall upon him, but with Nancy's help he drives them back and escapes with her into the adjoining room. Nancy escapes by the window, while Clancy holds the door until she gets the police. The police rush in just as the gang break down the door of Clancy's barricade. The gang are dragged away and Clancy takes Nancy in his arms and tells her that thereafter he intends being more than just her protector.
