Norali's son Tommy, after being away for five years, has been piano-player in a tough joint and gun-toter for the proprietor,, Grasscili. When the place is raided, Grasselli matches the gun from Tommy, wannda a man, and by threatening Tommy with planning the blame on him, prac dically forces Tommy to let him use his mother's boarding house as his hideaway. Sarah Jane suspects the strange roomer, and finds that she Jina known him. Tommy resents her talking with Grassell. Sarah Jane lands Tommy's songs and wine back his old love for her.
