Budding child vaudeville performer Foxine LaRue and her mother Gertrude LaRue will do anything to get Foxine into show business.

Foxine is nowhere to be found, having hitched a ride on a freight train after mailing a ransom note.

Overheard talking about the hoax, Gertrude is arrested by the police.

Pascual Orozco finds Foxine, and she tells him she escaped from an orphanage.

A mob tries to hang Orozco, and Foxine finally confesses.
