Plot edit
As described in a film magazine review,[3] Police Officer Tom Conlin on his beat in New York City's Italian quarter meets and falls in love with a florist's daughter, Tita Sartori. Because he is rearing two children, Tita thinks that he is married. She is being wooed by Italian-American politician Carlo Guido, who is wealthy.
