Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Robbed at gunpoint, subway change-maker Rod LaRocque is led to believe that passenger Jeanette Loff was an accomplice in the stick-up. He follows the girl to her home, a lavish Long Island mansion, where he is mistaken as the holdup man. Subway detective Tom Kennedy shows up at the doorstep of Loff's estate to add to the confusion, something Kennedy does quite well indeed. Clearing himself of a robbery charge, LaRocque discovers that Loff is being forced to marry a man she does not love. He shows up unannounced at the wedding, kidnaps the far-from-resistant heroine, and drives off to find a justice of the peace.
