A gritty crime drama unfolds as a rugged detective and a cunning criminal engage in a tense standoff, with the detective's sister caught in the middle, struggling to reconcile her loyalty to her brother with her family's troubled past.

Louie Peronni, a former convict, returns home to find his sister engaged to a policeman, and discovers his secret wife has abandoned their baby girl in a foundling home. Seeking revenge, Louie plans a fur warehouse robbery, but his father intervenes, urging him to surrender to the police. Meanwhile, Louie's gang kidnaps the district attorney's daughter, unaware that she is actually Louie's own child, who was adopted from the foundling home.
