Fanny was a child of poverty, brought up in surroundings of vice and sin. She was finally committed to the House of Reform, where she was taught better. She secured a position in a restaurant. Soon after this Jim Sparks was released from one of his numerous jail terms, and rejoined his companions, who were engaged in working out the fine points of a prospective burglary. Jim was hungry, but he had no money, so he went to a restaurant, which happened to be in the one where Fanny worked. He ate heartily and was walking out when Fanny called him back. She demanded payment, but was refused. She took the price of his meal from her pocketbook and rang it up on the cash register. Jim left the restaurant but could not forget Fanny. He told his companions that he was not going on any burglary. He leaves them, and waits outside the restaurant until the girl comes out, and then follows her to a bench in the park. There he tells her what he is and how sorry he is for his actions in the restaurant. Fanny comforts him and reads him a few passages from the Bible. She gives him the sacred book and he takes it home. There his pal finds him absorbed in reading it. He also reads it over Jim's shoulder and an awakening takes place in both their hearts. They determined to turn from their wicked ways. Together they proceed to the restaurant and asked to be allowed to earn a meal. It was the rush hour and they were put to work. The final scene shows them eating their first honest meal.
