Jim Scott returns from Paris to his hometown, New York City, to find his wife has invested his wages in a run-down apartment building. Meanwhile, smooth-talking Charley Patterson (Frank Fay), a confidence man who romances and swindles wealthy widows, meets his neighbor in the building, gentle widow Eadie Gaynor (Leatrice Joy), and becomes enamoured of her even though she is poor. Jim learns that it will be so expensive to fix the wiring that he must sell the building. Charley arranges for Jim to get arrested for receiving the $800 from him.
