Charlie meets a burglar he knew in prison and agrees to help with a robbery. They have trouble breaking into a house, so Charlie just walks in the front door. The girl who lives in the house has already summoned the police, but is so charmed by Charlie that when the police arrive she tells them he is her husband.
