As described in a film magazine review, [3] Gilda Hart, woman member of a gang of robbers, decides to go straight, and is called yellow by the gang. Her aunt moves to the Coast. Gilda gets a job at a bank and wins the approval of her employer by detecting some counterfeit bills. The Dove, a member of the gang who loves her, brings the gang to the Coast where they find her. They try to persuade her to assist in robbing the bank, but she refuses. On the night of the robbery, she goes to the bank, takes the money, and returns to her employer's home. While she is gone, the gang goes to the bank, find the banker and bind him and carry him away in an effort to make him tell them where the money is hidden. Gilda goes to the gang to see where her employer is. She is in the room when the Detective and his aides arrive. She is accused of being an accomplice, but is given a clean record when the banker's mother tells them that Gilda had saved the money. The banker and the young woman then decide to "go straight" to see a minister.
