- Whitey's gang of crooks has flourished on waterfront robbery because Tom, the district attorney's secretary, has kept it tipped from the inside. Jack Morrison, police reporter for The Herald, gets next to the gang for the sake of a story later. He is suspected, however, by the crooks, and Nell, a girl of the underworld, overhears Whitey and his pals plotting to make way with the new member. She decides to "squeal," as Jack has formerly defended her from insult. The police, however, won't believe her story. Meanwhile, the gang has got Jack in its power. They determine to drop him, gagged and bound, in the river under cover of darkness. Nell again appeals to the authorities, and this time the police sergeant believes her. She and the policemen give chase in a motorboat. They reach the craft containing the crooks just after Jack has been dropped overboard. Nell dives after him while a gun battle is on, and with the aid of one of the policemen she gets him unbound and into the motorboat. After the crooks have been rounded up, Jack's editor, who has been called to the police station, says that he will be responsible for Nell. But Jack relieves his chief of that responsibility.—Moving Picture World synopsis
