- The first brunette is outdoors, sweeping the street or a patio in front of a white wall, well lighted by the sunshine coming from the top left of the fixed camera; we may assume she is the Servant. A second brunette enters from the right, crosses to the left looking sideways at the Servant, and retraces her steps back - stepping over the dust and dead leaves collected by the work of the Servant; by the hat with a floral arrangement that tops her elaborate hairdo, the second woman is possibly the Lady. Both women are tall and well bodied, and are wearing white embroidered shirts and long dark round skirts that come to their ankles covered in black socks and dark leather shoes. The first Brunette menaces the second with the sweeping end of her broom but the second woman waves it aside with a large gesture of her left arm. The Servant throws away her tool, and they come to blows, slapping arms and forcing against each other by grabbing each other's shoulders and arms. Immediately, the fancy hat flies to the left of the camera, where it will remain for the rest of the action. The women quickly attempt to grab and pull hair. The Servant succeeds, and surprisingly wrenches off the wig the Lady was wearing, leaving her head partially bald. They keep churning against each other, until a Man enters from the right; he has a mustache and is wearing a gray round hat, black shoes, gray trousers and dark coat, approaches them, and forces the women apart with his arms. His clothes seem of bourgeois quality, so he may be the Lady's husband. His success in separating the battling women is at the cost of losing his own hat. The Servant goes after the Man, as the other brunette seems to understand her humiliating situation - and covers the top of her bald head with both hands clasped above. However, seeing how the Servant and the Man are now fighting, she seems amused, and laughs. The Lady comes forward and helps the Servant to shove the Man away. Without respite, the two women re-start battling again, and one grasps the sharp contrast between the «bald» Lady and the Servant's waved, waist long, massive mane of disheveled hair. The battle goes on, with the women waving their arms at each other (and laughing out of character). The Man gives up his good scout action, bends to pick up his hat, dusts it off, and replaces it on his head. As the Man leaves through the right, the two women let their arms fall by their sides, and stop the battle.

- Prepossessing young Stephen Adams has been reared as an enemy to society. He truly believes that his mission on earth is to rob the undeserving rich so he can help the poor. Returning to America with his associates, Hilary Quackenbos and George LeFay, after a rich haul on the chateau of a French lottery swindler, he meets on shipboard Stephen Janissary, head of the great chain of Janissary grocery stores, and Decima Duress, Janissary's ward. On the ship, Adams wins $5,000 away from Janissary at cards and gives the money to Decima for the model tenements she is building for the poor. An active enmity springs up between the two men. Adams reports his success abroad to the two men who have schooled him in crime, Wulf Axtell, a modern Fagin, and Balthazar Van Tromp, another doddering old man. Adams comes to realize that his past life is an effectual bar to asking Miss Duress to marry him, so he goes to his old pals to tell them he is through with them. Van Tromp, before Adams speaks, proposes that Adams next rob the Janissary home. Adams refuses and announces that he will go straight. Meanwhile Decima has been approached for help by Alderman McKenna, whom Janissary threatens to crush unless he votes his way on a traction franchise. Janissary holds over McKenna's head some old falsified indictments. Janissary keeps them in his safe. Decima asks Adams to get the indictments. He agrees. He goes to his old associates and says he has decided to rob the Janissary home. They get him the plans of the house. On the night of a big ball, Stephen Adams opens the Janissary safe. Then Balthazar Von Tromp has the revenge for which he labored many years: He goes to the ball and tells Janissary that his safe is being robbed. When Adams comes downstairs with the police at his heels, Von Tromp tells his secret: Adams is Janissary's son whom Von Tromp kidnapped when Adams was an infant and reared in a life of crime. The son has robbed his own father for the love of a girl. To substantiate his statement Von Tromp dangles before Janissary's eyes the shoes which the kidnapped baby wore. Janissary, broken in heart, dismisses his guests and bids the police release Adams. Then his better nature asserts itself and father and son are reunited. Later Stephen Adams marries Decima Duress, the girl for whom he attempted to re-enter the life of crime temporarily, and forswears his old associates and ways forever.
