An agent, disguised as a mendicant, locates the gang’s quarters and the chief sends his aides to spy out the place. The two men are rivals for the affection of the chief’s daughter. On the evening before they undertake their dangerous task, one learns that the other is the favored suitor. In the counterfeiters’ den they are trapped by desperate men, who are breaking in when the disappointed lover prevails upon his comrade to go for help. When the other arrives with the police, he is dying. Having given his life for his friend, he confesses his love for the girl and sends her the ring with which he had hoped to plight their troth.
