A couple of gamblers, Nails Morgan and Todd Harrington, are running late to get a wager down, but Nails lies to a cop, O'Reilly, pretending the little girl is his daughter; Janet plays along.
The superstitious Nails wins at a dice game with the little girl nearby, so Madge convinces him that Janet is good luck.
Madge picks a sure thing at the racetrack, having gotten a tip, but pretends it was Janet who suggested betting on the horse.
They do, but after Janet's photo runs in the newspaper, the orphanage feels being around gamblers is bad for the child and asks to regain custody.
George Bricker and Albert Demond worked on the story and John Farrow was announced as director.
