Plot
[edit]As described in a film magazine review,[4] Tom O'Hara, a young rancher, adopts Jill, a child of the circus, and takes her to a city. There he becomes a hero through the rescue of the police chief’s daughter Alice Deering in a runaway automobile. The chief makes him a motorcycle policeman.
