This routine drama, produced by F.B.O., was based on a story by Laura Jean Libbey. Although they'd both been in pictures for a number of years, this was the first relatively large production for both Charlotte Stevens and Kornelius Keefe. When Ed (Grant Withers) pulls off a heist stealing from wealthy Alice Gage (Marie Walcamp), his sweetheart Polly (Stevens) is jailed for the crime. While she cools her heels behind bars, Polly swears revenge, and when she gets out, she attempts to rob Alice's home. She is found by Alice's father (Tom Ricketts), however, and he decides to adopt her. Alice's fiancé, Martin Breen (Keefe), falls in love with Polly. Alice isn't exactly willing to let Breen go and she does everything in her power to put a wedge between the two lovers. But nothing works, and in the end, Polly gets her man -- so she really does steal something from Alice, after all.
