It is picked up by Nifty, a crook. Wallingford turns in time to see the crook picking it up and with a policeman, chases Nifty, who, to throw off suspicion, casts the wallet into the grass and smokes a cigarette as the policeman comes up. He is searched and then ordered away. A little girl, Rosa, penniless and hungry finds the wallet. As she is looking through it, Breezy, a crook, who had that day decided to turn honest, grabs it from her. That night, at their meeting place, Breezy announces to the crooks that he is going West to be an honest man and displays the wallet. Nifty coming in sees it and claims it as his own. Breezy laughs and goes out taking the wallet with him. Nifty writes a note to the police giving them Breezy 's address. Breezy returns home, shows his wife the wallet and they start to pack. Before long the officers are at the door. In desperation, Nell flings the wallet in a covered dish of chicken that reposes upon the fire escape. The dish is watched by the little girl upstairs, Rosa's sister, who has had nothing to eat all day. Seeing the shutters closed, she grabs the dish and climbs up again into her room. The police search Breezy's place and finally open the shutter to look on the fire escape. To Nell's joy the dish is gone. The police leave satisfied and the pair lose no time in getting out of the town. Rosa returns disheartened to find Anna devouring cold chicken and the wallet on the floor beside her. Rosa asks where she got it and the child tells her. Rosa, taking the wallet, goes downstairs to return it and finds the apartment empty. Wallingford, who has received word from the police, meets the two girls with his wallet in the hall. A few questions convinces him of their poverty and he makes arrangements to send them to the country where they have plenty to eat and decent clothes to wear.
