Pedro presents her with a cross of gold on her birthday. Freedman is attracted by the beauty of the Italian girl, and one day while she is in the private office, tries to force his embraces on her. She struggles and cries for help, the cross breaking from its chain and falling to the floor, Pedro and Tony come to her rescue and it looks bad for Freedman when he is rescued by the police. The men leave, vowing vengeance. That night, they both plan to return and kill Freedman, but Rosita temporarily thwarts their efforts. Later, each unknown to the other, goes to Freedman's office to kill him. In the meantime, a thief has climbed a fire escape and after a struggle, Freedman is killed. The thief picks up the glistening cross and is about to rifle the place, when he hears a noise and escapes via a door. The noise is made by Tony ascending the fire escape. When he sees the body he thinks Pedro is the murderer. Pedro, meanwhile comes up in time to see Tony fleeing and thinks the latter has committed the murder. Next morning, the body is found and when the employees tell of the incident of the previous day, the police go in search of the two men. Each remains dumb, one thinking the other guilty, and are arrested. The thief takes the cross to a pawnshop and there meets Rosita, who has come there to sell a few trinkets to raise money to defend the men. She recognizes the cross, follows the man and then notifies the police of his whereabouts and he is captured. Tony and Pedro are freed upon the thief's confession. They are amazed to learn that neither committed the crime. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
