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. In this capacity he captures a gang of desperadoes and, after a period of courtship, weds the chief’s daughter.
