As described in a film magazine, the film starts with an 8-oar shell race between college teams. Later, there is a prison escape from Sing Sing, and then a murder on the steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue in New York City (filmed at the actual cathedral while the congregation was leaving mass).
