Summaries

The Peacock (Harlan Brooks), a member of Anthony Farone's gang of crooks, is the son of wealthy parents and is known for his stylish clothes. Farone gives him jewels, stolen from socialite Louise De Lacey, to hide. After doing so he has an encounter with a policeman in which he is struck on the head and loses his memory. In desperation, Farone accedes to the pleas of the Chameleon (the gang's only female member), who loves the Peacock, and sends him to Peter, the Healer. His gang accompany him disguised as cripples. A cure is effected by an accident, but Farone is not told. The Peacock becomes attracted to Mrs. De Lacey's daughter, Helen, who is a regular visitor to Peter's camp, and returns the jewels to her. The Chameleon, jealous of the Peacock's attentions to Helen, tells Farone that the Peacock is faking. The arrival of the police prevents Farone from blinding the Peacock. Helen persuades her mother to drop the robbery charges against the gang, the Peacock and the Chameleon are reconciled, and through Peter's efforts Farone and his gang are reformed.—AFI
