A tough gang learning that Chuck has lost his job, try to persuade him to join them. Freckles' friend, Captain Arling, the harbor police, warns Chuck that his association with the gang is liable to get him into trouble, but as he is unable to secure work, reluctantly promises to join them. They plan to rob an old sailing ship in the harbor of a chest of pearls, in the captain's cabin. Brady, leader of the gang, writes Chuck a note, telling him where to meet them. Freckles finds the pieces of the note and leaves to try to intercept his brother. While crossing the street he is run down by an automobile and taken to the receiving hospital. In the meantime Chuck has a change of heart and decides not to go with the gang, so goes back home, where he finds his mother grief-stricken, because Freckles has been gone so long. Freckles' mother and Chuck are notified of his whereabouts and they are overjoyed on going at once to the hospital, to learn that he is not seriously injured.
