Nan Carey ( Betty Compson ), a shoplifter, is caught by the police but acquitted through the influence of Lazare ( Lucien Littlefield ), a crooked lawyer, who places her with a gang of crooks. Posing as the Brockton family, they move to a seaside home, where they plan to steal the jewel collection of the Palmers, their neighbours. Nan wins the confidence of the family by flirting with Tom ( Kenneth Harlan ), who becomes infatuated and wants to go away with her, but she refuses him. Tom is caught

Rival gangs of jewel thieves pose as high-rollers in an effort to rob one another of gems. The female decoy with one gang is actually a detective assigned to get the goods on both groups. Of course, she falls in love with a member of the rival gang. Though produced with care and well-cast, this still remains rather creaky entertainment.
