Johnny Brent is a young man on probation after a first conviction for petty theft. Attempting to reform his life, he meets and falls in love with Connie Phillips, the daughter of a middle-class textile company owner, Harold Phillips.
Johnny finds employment at Connie’s father's firm, keeping his criminal past a secret to maintain his new social standing and relationship. However, his employer's wallet goes missing and, because of his history, Johnny is suspected of theft. Panic-stricken and fearing that his past has finally caught up with him, he flees, which further implicates him in the eyes of the law and Connie's family.
Johnny returns to his old criminal companions and commits an armed robbery, before a shoot-out with police. Connie goes to him, and he surrenders when the truth behind the missing wallet is revealed.
