- Maggie Hoolihan, fresh landed from Ellis Island, having just come over from one of the little villages in the remote west of Ireland, was anxious to immediately commence to make her fortune, so she applied at Mr. Jinks' house in Jersey City for a job as a maid. Having a very strong recommendation from the priest of her native village, she was soon installed in this position. While the family are out she incidentally brushes Jinks' coat with the carpet sweeper and drops it in the street. This attracts the attention of Officer Clancy, who, looking up, sees her fresh rosy cheeks.

Thinking to keep her under his own eye, he next gets the captain of the precinct to give her a job as scrubwoman at the station house, but when she unlocks the cell doors and allows the prisoners to escape, it is easy to see that this is not her sphere. Finally Clancy decides to marry her and to give her a permanent job for life, and he accordingly takes her to his home and introduces her to his children, only ten in all not counting the dog. Here she settles down and looking after this family keeps her busy, while she leaves it to Clancy to get together the fortune she hoped to make.

- Maggie Malone, a self-dependent child of the tenements, has instincts better than her environment, and agrees with the Bible, as she quotes it, "everyone should be decent." She is a pugnacious personage, and the jungle spirit is rampant in her. Brave in battling, she is fitted to subjugate, but lacks those softening influences demanded by the hungry heart of femininity. Grace was pretty and foolish, but had mortally wounded Maggie's pride. Grace's invalid father, whose stray acquaintance with Maggie, in the park, had developed a curious friendship, was the memory when the moment for vengeance arrived. "Oily" Jake, who was favored by Grace, invited her to dine with him in a café. Maggie saw them enter the café, and being worldly-wise to the danger of "Oily's" company, who used "knock-out" drops, went home laughing wickedly in her prospective triumph. However, the memory of the dear, gentle old man in the park intervened, and when she presently rushed into the café, she found the girl unconscious. It was the work of a moment to drag Grace into the open air and then to return and mop the floor with boozy "Oily," so that he was marked for life. This not only saved the girl from further persecution and shame, but eventually it restored Maggie to the good graces of her own beloved Dan, who had thought the poor, old, sick man in the park was a suitor for the heart of Maggie Malone.
