He resolves to rob his host on the night of a social event given for Irma. Hewitt Breen, a burglar, has just opened the Fairchild safe when Prewitt comes upon him. The burglar escapes and Prewitt robs the safe. Breen has left a thumbmark on the safe. Maddened at the loss of loot, he strives to enter Prewitt's room to claim his share, but by mistake enters the room of Irma. Seized with the desire to be worthy of the love of such a beautiful woman and to some day win her, he is regenerated. Prewitt drinks deeply and resolves to force his attentions upon Irma. As he gropes into the girl's room he is confronted by Breen, who overpowers him. Prewitt escapes, turns in an alarm and poses as a hero, claiming to have saved Irma. The girl, although grateful to Breen for saving her from Prewitt, says nothing. Breen disguises himself and becomes a butler in the Fairchild home. There he is instrumental in showing up Prewitt and in winning the love of the beautiful Irma. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
