A nine-year-old boy named Mickey walks into Rocky’s all-night diner carrying a shoebox that really contains ,000 from a payroll robbery. Rocky tries to protect the runaway child and return the marked money, but gunmen connected to Mickey’s father pursue them and repeatedly try to recover the cash. Mickey ultimately takes the money to police himself, Rocky survives the gangsters’ attempt to kill him, and the boy is left safely with his aunt instead of the father he fears.
