Little Annie Rooney (Mary Pickford) is a tough girl from the streets with her own gang. She spends her days wreaking havoc around the streets. She looks up to her older brother, who is into a more violent gang himself. Annie develops a crush on a gang member Joe. Despite being a troublemaking tomboy, she has a father, Timothy Rooney, (Walter James (actor)) who is the respected neighborhood cop. Everyone is in shock when an unknown assailant shoots and kills him. The culprits mislead Annie’s brother into thinking Joe Kelly (William Haines) is the shooter. Annie is now unsure as to whom to believe.
