[1] While discussing heredity, a man recalls the story of two orphan girls to a pair of cohorts at a ball.

When Angel steals a watch from a passenger on the train, the man refuses to press charges and enlists her help in his confidence scheme in Havana.

Evelyn is engaged to marry the promising author Robert Ellington (Austin), but after a quarrel, the writer goes to Havana and meets and falls for Angel.

Ellington is scheduled to leave on a ship but gives his ticket to Johnson (Albertson), the secret agent and con man.

Angel watches tearfully as the boat pulls away before Ellington reveals he loves her, and the two are left in happiness.
