Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[4] Kingsley, a criminal lawyer who often defends those he knows are guilty, visits a dentist. He is summoned thence by a gangster to where Goldie Harper has killed a man. The body is removed under Kingsley's instructions, but unknown to him it is buried in his yard. He defends Goldie successfully, but the body is found. Beatrice Brooks, his sweetheart who objects to his career of defending guilty thugs, is killed by crooks, and the police are about to arrest him. He then wakes up in the dentist's chair, having been in a dream. He resolves to change his business practices.
