Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A gang of crooks using the name Brockton establishes itself in a fashionable New York neighborhood next door to the Palmers, and plots to steal their neighbors' valuable jewel collection. The two families become friendly when daughter Ruth Brockton and son Tom Palmer fall in love. Before the Brocktons can rob the Palmers they learn that their neighbors are also crooks who have set up the same scheme to rob the Brocktons. The two gangs agree to join forces but are threatened by the intervention of renowned detective Ferris, who it turns out has actually disguised herself as Ruth Brockton to entrap the two gangs. She pardons both sets of crooks and reforms Tom with whom she actually has fallen in love. Written by Pamela Short |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Director Allan Dwan stated that he had so much trouble with actors upstaging one another (moving upstage to force the other actors to turn their backs to the camera) that he tied ropes to the actors' ankles out of camera range and yanked them back whenever they drifted upstage.
