As described in a film magazine review,[3] Rose (Roberts), desperately in need of money, finds a bag of money thrown over a fence by crooks. She rushes home with it only to find her father has died. She attempts to return the satchel but it is filled with paper and worthless money. The crooks become friendly with her, and although harassed by the police, she finally wins over one of them into going straight.
With no prints of On Thin Ice located in any film archives,[4] it is a lost film.[5]
