Wharf Angel plot
"Barbary Coast! Where the tides of human passions roll up strange wrecks of life and love...a haven for crushed derelicts...such as Toy, who knew men but never heard of love!"
On the docks of San Francisco, the saloon girl Toy, aka Mary, spends most of her time at Mother Bright's bar. When fugitive criminal Como Murphy hides in her room, Mary falls in love with him. He explains to her that when he spoke to a crowd about human rights, a riot broke out, in which a police officer was killed. Como then grabbed the killer's gun, which is believed to have killed the officer.
