The kid, however, is taken away: by a Child's Welfare society and Donovan swears he will show the city just how bad he can be. He is persuaded to change his mind by the daughter of preacher, and keena straight.

The girl is robbed of a large sim of money by a gang of robbers and Donovan is suspected. How he clears himself, and regains the custody of the "kid" as well na win for himself the preacher's daughter, is eleverly told on the
