As described in a film magazine review,[3] Police Officer Tom Conlin on his beat in New York City's Italian quarter meets and falls in love with a florist's daughter, Tita Sartori. Because he is rearing two children, Tita thinks that he is married. She is being wooed by Italian-American politician Carlo Guido, who is wealthy. The politician kidnaps Tita and keeps her at his apartment. Tom rescues her and tells her that he is single, and she admits that she loves him.
