- When the son of a leader of a Paris underworld family known as The Apaches is arrested and tried in court, the boy's mother asks the judge for mercy, but he refuses. In retaliation, the family kidnaps the judge's young daughter and raises her to be one of their own, schooling her in the ways of crime. One day she steals a valuable pin from a young American artist; he catches her, but an attraction develops between them--and her "Apache" family is not happy about it.—frankfob2@yahoo.com
- Mme. Dufrane, queen of the Paris Apaches, pleads with the judge of the French Court to spare judgment on her son, who is arraigned before him charged with theft. But he is deaf to her entreaties, and sentences the youth to the gallows. Heartbroken. Mme. Dufrane, who loves this boy better than her life, retires to the den of the Apaches, determined that the judge shall suffer. Then, with the assistance of her eldest son, she kidnaps the judge's infant daughter Julie and escapes with her to the den. Julie is raised as an Apache. She is taught to steal with such expertness as to escape the shrewdest of the police. But, with her instinctive refinement, Julie rebels against her teachers, and is severely beaten, and threatened with death by strangulation. Made desperate, she packs her few belongings, and takes shelter in the studio of a young American artist, for whom she has posed several times. These two fall in love, and he attempts to protect and safeguard Julie, but one day she ventures out on the street, and the Apaches seize her and carry her back to the den. Mme. Dufrane, her hatred aroused, orders her band to strangle her. Meanwhile Julie's old nurse, who has been reduced to the position of selling trinkets on the streets, has seen Julie carried into the Apaches' house at 17 Rue Mort, and warns the judge, her father. Also the young artist learns of her danger, and rushes with the gendarmes to the stronghold, where Julie is rescued just as the Apaches are about to put her to death. Of course, the artist is entitled to some reward for his goodness, and he proposes that the judge let him have Julie's hand in marriage. And being a good father, if a stern Justice, he gives his daughter to the young man with his blessing.—Moving Picture World synopsis
