They make their get-away in a taxi and during the drive home Flora asks Jim for her share of the loot. Jim tells her he will divide it later, as it will not be safe for her to have the diamonds in her possession. He leaves Flora at her apartments. While Jim is gone the "Dip" calls on Flora and begs her to marry him and go away. Flora refuses. Jim returns and finds the "Dip" with Flora. He is very nasty to the "Dip." When Jim leaves Flora the "Dip" trails him and finds that Jim has another sweetheart, Molly. The "Dip" returns to Flora's apartments, gets Flora and shows her Jim with Molly. Flora sees Jim give Molly her share of the loot from the diamond robbery. Flora is hurt and angry. She agrees to go away with the "Dip," but before leaving, she informs the chief of police on Jim, also implicating Molly. As the "Dip" and Flora are about to leave the city, Flora becomes conscious-stricken. She confesses to the "Dip" and they resolve to save Jim and Molly. Flora goes to the Park Hotel, which Jim has planned to rob that night, but is too late to save Jim; he is taken by the police. Jim is sentenced to the penitentiary, but on the way there escapes. He returns to the city, learns there that Flora has married and "Dip" is living in Philadelphia. He resolves to get her. He travels to Philadelphia, goes to Flora's house and as he is almost about to shoot through the window, he is shot and killed by a policeman. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
