[1] As described in a review in a film magazine,[2] Betty Blair (Mills) finishes a training course at the school for telephone operators in New York and returns to her home town Midvale where her scheming aunt (Chapin) makes her promise to marry a scheming wealthy lawyer, Kilmaster (Richmond).

Brothers Jimmy (Sands) and Billy Roberts (Caldwell) cap the climax to a wild career by getting arrested in a street brawl and are turned out by their irate father.

He wanders into Midvale and gets a job as lineman with the telephone company where he meets Betty and falls in love with her.

The thieves have cut the wires, but Betty stays on the job until Billy repairs the lines and sends an alarm, which brings about the capture of the gang.

Billy rushes back and rescues her from the flames and, having made good, returns home with his bride-to-be and gets his parents' forgiveness.
