Plot Summary:Ed Watson and Billy, the rat, crooks operating in New York, are \"breaking in\" Nell Forest, who has had the misfortune of being brought up in an evil atmosphere. The crooks spot Maurice Fielding, son of a jeweler, having stores in New York and Chicago, as a victim, and Nell makes his acquaintance. Maurice proves to be a different kind of man than any she has known. He falls in love with her and she with him. With this comes a hatred for Watson. Billy and all that they stand for. Maurice proposes marriage, but she refuses because she knows she has no right to wed an honest man; she wants to break away from her evil companions. Then perhaps she can tell Maurice everything and he will keep on loving her. But Watson is not to be so easily shaken off. He learns that Maurice is going to Chicago and that his trunk will contain jewelry. He and Billy hatch a plot to rob the trunk. They send for Nell, who is forced to come at their call. They tell her she is necessary to the proposed robbery. Nell refuses to help them and threatens to warn Maurice until they threaten that they can put Maurice wise to Nell's past. She would do anything rather than have Maurice know just yet. Watson also promises to give Nell her freedom after just this one more job. She is to buy a ticket for Valley Springs, a summer resort on the road to Chicago, and to travel on the same train with Maurice. A trunk is secured and lock arranged so that it can be opened from inside. Billy gets into the trunk and it is checked to Valley Springs, to which place Watson has gone the day before. Maurice is delighted that Nell will make part of the journey with him. The two trunks are put into the same baggage car. While the train is going Billy climbs out of Nell's trunk. The baggage man sees him in time to dodge. A fierce battle with revolvers ensues until Billy wounds the baggage man. It only takes a minute to transfer the jewelry from Maurice's trunk to Nell's and when the train reaches Valley Springs, Billy stands at the door of the baggage coach and throws Nell's trunk off. Nell hands the baggage master her check and requests him to lift her trunk on an automobile. (Watson is in the auto.) Nell also climbs in and is waving good-bye to Maurice when the wounded baggage man recovers and springs on Billy. Billy has intended to go to the next station. The recovery of the baggage man spoils everything. Billy jumps out of the car, catches Watson's auto as it is turning a corner and jumps into it. A race ensues between the crooks' auto and pursuers, The road leads to a river. The drawbridge is open and Watson sees it too late to stop, turning the machine it plunges over the cliff into the river. Watson goes to the bottom with the car, but Billy and Nell are thrown out into the river. Maurice, who is in the pursuing auto, sees Nell struggling in the water. Although he now knows her for what she is, an impulse which he cannot resist compels him to dive to her rescue. A row boat picks up Nell, Maurice and Billy. Before he dies, \"the rat\" exonerates Nell, tells how she was forced into the robbery, tells how she confessed her love for Maurice and fought against the scheme. Well! Maurice does the right thing -- Moving Picture World synopsis
