Mae, another of the girls, persuades the proprietor to make Helen a waitress. A love affair ripens between Helen and Chick, who promises to keep away from gambling, but the lure is too strong for him. He catches a man cheating, and turns him out, killing him only when his own life is threatened. Steve Barton, the dead man's pal, is also in love with Helen, and sees in the happening a chance to get rid of a rival, but fate works against him, and the love that was born in a dance hall is crowned in a rectory.
