The son of the District Attorney "has" something on the crooked ward boss, which makes the latter uneasy. Knowing the young man is infatuated with the adventuress, known as "My Lady Raffles," he approaches her with a proposition to put the boy out of the way. She will not agree to this. He arranges with one of his own crooks to have him assassinate the boy. That evening "My Lady Raffles'' breaks with the son of the District Attorney. He threatens to kill himself. Leaving her, he returns home to carry out his plan of self-destruction. It happens that "My Lady Raffles" and her gang have planned a raid upon the safe of the District Attorney that evening. They are admitted to the house by the butler, an accomplice. "My Lady Raffles" assists in tying the butler to a chair after the job is done to allay suspicion of his connection with the crime. She unintentionally drops a rose she is wearing. Outside, the crook in the employ of the ward boss, seeing the District Attorney's son in his room fires with deadly effect. Next morning the District Attorney finds his son dead and his safe looted. Detective Phil is put on the case. In the young man's room he finds a rose, and finds the young man's gun is empty. Below they find the butler tied to the chair. Kelley discovers a rose similar to the other on the floor. The ward boss is present during the detective's examination. Unseen by the others, the ward boss finds a note on the floor of the boy's room addressed to "My Lady Raffles," in which he tells of his intention and bids farewell, also mentioning the details of their quarrel. This he places in his pocket. Having secured all his clues, Kelley becomes suspicious of the ward boss's action. When the latter leaves he follows him to the den of "My Lady Raffles." He overhears a conversation between the two in which the Ward Boss taunts her with the note he has found, claiming he can connect her with the robbing of the safe and the death of the young man. Kelley observes that the room is decorated with the identical kind of rose of which he has two samples. His chain of evidence is complete. He confronts the two crooks. "My Lady Raffles" makes a clever escape, but Kelley detains the crooked Ward Boss under arrest.
