[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Bob Gilmore (Corbett), a young Washington clubman, pleads guilty to his foster father's forgery and becomes a fugitive from justice.

While escaping from the city, he is set upon by the White Circle gang of thieves who throw him in front of a train.

Gilmore then takes the name Stevens and breaks into the homes of the wealthy at midnight in an attempt to learn his identity.

He has occasion to rescue a pretty young woman from thugs and finds she is the daughter of a wealthy man named Morgan.

Gilmore in the episodes is frequently called upon to display his boxing abilities in rough and tumble fights, and often takes daring athletic feats during his quest to discover his identity.
