A gentleman thief has for a sweetheart and accomplice a maid, whose plan it is to get employment in a house and tip him off as to the lay of the land.

The little family of husband, wife and infant child are just existing, the wife toiling to make ends meet, while the husband is a worthless scamp. The wife manages to set aside a little of her meager earnings to save for the child's future, which is her sole thought. The husband has tried to get this money, but the wife guards it carefully.
