While the City Sleeps

Dan Coghlan (Lon Chaney) is a police officer with flat feet and a tough disposition. As he is about to quit his job, he is noticed about a croaked jeweler. When arriving there, he finds Skeeter Carlson (Wheeler Oakman), a crook who never gets busted for a crime due to a lack of evidence. Dan is convinced that Skeeter is responsible for her death, considering that she was going to testify against him. Meanwhile, Dan tells Myrtle that he loves her and then proposes to her.
