Mr. Morris, the owner of a large metropolitan department store, gives jobs to paroled ex-convicts in an effort to help them reform and go straight. Among his 'employed-prison-graduates' are Helen Roberts and Joe Dennis, working as sales clerks. Joe is in love with Helen and asks her to marry him, but she is forbidden to marry as she is still on parole, but she says yes and they are married (but she neglects to tell Joe that she is an ex-con, herself, and still on parole - and here is wherein the trouble arises). In spite of their poverty-level life, their marriage is a happy one until Joe discovers she has lied about her past. Disillusioned, he leaves, goes back to his old gang and plans to rob the department store.
