When Tommy saves a young girl from being killed by the automobile of wealthy Mr. Thornton, the man decides to adopt Tommy and give him the best of everything. But Thornton's nephew detests this as he feels that it may cut him out of Thornton's will, so he and his gang decide to rob the rich banker and blame it on Tommy.
