Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[4] Jean Lawrence, a dancer, jobless and hungry, faints in a restaurant just off Broadway. Rescued by Nan Norton, she becomes involved in a counterfeiting plot. A prowler is searching in Nan's apartment, who then turns off his flashlight steps out onto the balcony when Nan and Jean arrive. Ten seconds later, two detectives arrive, tell Nan that they "have the goods on her," and arrest Nan. "Smooth" Moran, Nan's sweetheart and leader of the gang, dies in London. He has made a friend and supposed acquaintance of Stephen Moore in Paris, and had asked him to look after Nan. In a series of hectic events, the crooks all seem to be detectives and the detectives crooks. The outcome is a perfectly legitimate romance between Jean and Stephen, who is not a crook but is a millionaire amateur detective.
