Crane disapproves of McCabe and forbids him seeing Bess. It so happens one night that a Mr. Epstein, who lives on Crane's beat, surprises a burglar in his house. The robber escapes after Epstein gets a good look at him. Crane takes up the trail of the burglar. He stumbles upon McCabe, and as he answers Epstein's description, arrests him. But McCabe refuses to be the "goat" and escapes. Crane returns home and tells Bess what happened. Bess takes his revolver, club and helmet and goes in search of her late sweetheart. She surprises McCabe and takes him to the police station. The following morning Epstein is summoned to identify the burglar. He insists that McCabe is not the man. McCabe swears to the chief that he can capture the true offender. All laugh, but he is given the opportunity. To the astonishment of Crane and the chief, McCabe leads in Boston Billy, a notorious crook for whose capture $500 reward is offered. He is identified as the burglar by Epstein. Terry receives the reward, and is given a place on the police force. With the reward money, and a steady job, Patrolman Crane forgives Terry and consents that he marry Bess.
