Malone tells Boyd to put him right with Amy and he will give him contracts enough to establish his reputation for the rest of his life. Boyd refuses and kicks Malone out of the office. To lessen expenses for Boyd, Amy looks for another position. Malone sees her advertisement in the paper and gets Mme. Roberts, who keeps an immoral house, to lure Amy there. The girl soon realizes that she has been trapped. Malone comes to the room where Madame has left Amy alone, and tells her that if she will consent to become his mistress he will not only give her everything she could wish for, but will also give her the signed contracts for John Boyd. Amy acquiesces, telling him first to go to his office for the papers. While he is gone she writes a note to the effect that she is imprisoned at No. 18 Adams Street, and asks the finder to deliver it to 102 Preston Street. She then drops it from the window. John Boyd and the police reach the house just in time to rescue the girl, who is having a fierce struggle with Malone. The house is raided and the political boss arrested. When Amy and Boyd reach home, she shows him the contracts with Malone's signature. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
