Betty Compson as the fair Molly, the crook, is the cause of all the trouble and Raymond Griffith another crook on the same mission is the man who tries to help her out and loses his heart. Then there is Tom Santchi, the burly detective, who is responsible for the hasty flight of the crooks to Mexico, all the more hasty because the cops are after them. Bert Woodruff has more money than is good for him and is relieved of a little of it, while Fred Kelsey thinks that Rex Beach is a summer resort.
