Secret agent George Johnson (Albertson) recalls the story of two orphan girls to a pair of cohorts at a Paris cafe. Angel (Carmen) is adopted by crooks who teach her to steal, while Evelyn (Valli) is the criminally inclined girl adopted by a wealthy family.
When Angel steals a watch from a passenger on the train, the man refuses to press charges and enlists her help in his confidence scheme. Evelyn is engaged to marry the promising author Robert Ellington (Austin), but the writer falls for Angel. Ellington is scheduled to leave on a ship but gives his ticket to Johnson, the secret agent and con man. Angel watches tearfully as the boat pulls away before Ellington reveals he loves her.
