- Alice appears as Minnie Grabit, just released from prison. She poses as a Salvation Army girl long enough to collect loose change, then later becomes a nurse and finally a servant girl. The incidents are of the knockabout sort, and the eccentric characterizations are funny.—Moving Picture World, March 16, 1918
- Alice is released from prison where she was sent for stealing an oyster. Immediately after her release she is walking along the street ad some kindly gent robs her of the little money she has. Alice manages to get some money together with the help of a salvation hat and tambourine.

At the hospital, she is placed on the operating table and Handsome Harold, the doctor, falls head over heals in love with her. Having recovered from her slight injuries, she is made head nurse at the hospital.

He shows the doctor Alice's picture taken in prisoner's garb. The doctor is furious and orders Alice to leave the hospital immediately. At the restaurant where Alice used to sling hash they are glad to welcome her back and Alice is seen again at the of job of slinging spaghetti, beans and soup. Not satisfied with having her fired out of the hospital, the villain, Alice's old pal, wants her to marry him, but she refuses. Instead, Alice, thinking all is lost for her, decides to end it all and goes to a gink known as the "killer", and gives him an order to have herself killed without knowing when it will happen. She leaves the killer's office and is scared almost to death at every weapon, knife or bearded man she sees. Just as she is writing her will, leaving her apron to the cook, and her tooth brush to the bartender, the doctor has reconsidered the whole matter and comes to take her to the Justice of Peace's office and make her his wife.—Copyright Description from Library of Congress
