Dan (Lon Chaney), un delincuente habitual del miserable distrito londinense de Limehouse, tiene una doble personalidad. Unas veces es The Bishop, un hombre tullido que tiene fama de bienhechor de los desheredados. En cambio, cuando asume el papel de The Blackbird es un hombre separado de su mujer y enamorado de una artista que actúa en un café cantante. La generosidad y la falsa invalidez de The Bishop sirven de sofisticada tapadera para los delitos de The Blackbird. Pero la llegada de otro ladrón, West End Bernie (Owen Moore), que empieza a hacerle la competencia, pone en peligro su impunidad.
