editOn the final night before the Hotel Continental is demolished, recently paroled embezzler Jim Bennett returns to recover a fortune he hid there years ago. He interrupts the suicide attempt of a lonely young woman, Ruth Carleton, and the two agree to start a new life together once he retrieves the money.
