Danny O'Rourke, whose policeman father died a hero in the fulfillment of his duty, is training to become a member of the force. He is in love with Maggie Muldoon, who lives across the court. Miriam Welton, a girl of wealth, opens up a neighborhood clubhouse for the purpose of giving happiness to the poor. Her efforts are very poorly received, but she inveigles Danny to come to the club, and sends a beautiful hat to his sister as a gift. The hat gives Shannon the masculine attention which she craves and leads her to steal in order to be attractive. Danny fails to pass his examination, and is confronted with a demand for one thousand dollars to make good his sister's thefts. He takes part in a prize fight in order to get the money, but is badly beaten. On reaching home, however, he learns that there was an error in the marking of his paper, so he is eligible to be a policeman. Though bruised he is happy, and he finally wins Maggie, the girl of his heart.
