Ten years later finds her a member of the notorious Dolan gang, long sought by the police. She pleads with Dolan to give up his life and "go straight." Dolan consents to make his next robbery his last one. He is caught and jailed. The gang sends Mary to get word from him and he orders her to invade the home of Carstairs and steal the evidence which represented many months' work on the part of the district attorney and was accurate enough to send all the gangsters to prison for long terms. Mary tries it, and is caught by Carstairs. She tells why she is helping Dolan, because he befriended her. The attorney agrees not to use the evidence if Mary can reform the criminal. Returning home she hears the gang plotting to waylay Carstairs. Next day she hastens to his home to warn him and discovers Mrs. Carstairs and Bentley, When Carstairs comes in Mary saves his wife from suspicion by declaring she had returned to the house to rob and it was only the intervention of Bentley that prevented her from escaping. Mrs. Carstairs gets the girl aside and gives her a large roll of currency. Mary finds Dolan at home when she returns, he having escaped from jail. They decide to marry and flee together, and with Mary's money get a fresh start and "go straight." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
