Johnnie is in love with Nora Reilly, another tenant, but her father threatens and beats up Johnnie and he leaves the building to seek solace in the dance halls. Meanwhile, Mutrie discovers that he has won the football pools if only he had posted them. The neighbourhood comes round to rejoice but he tells them the truth.
