Richard Carlton, her father, the president of the United Traction Company, objects to the match and tells Harold that he will have to prove his worth before he can expect to win the girl's hand. He promises to consent to their marriage on the day that Harold wins his first big case. Several days later action is brought against the traction company by the city and Harold is assigned to prosecute the case. Carlton is alarmed, as it may mean the loss of the franchise and he engages a clever but unscrupulous lawyer to defend him. Harold writes to Claire telling her of his case and says that he will carry all important documents on his person. Claire misses the letter and immediately notifies Harold. He will not take any chances and prepares a dummy package which he puts in his pocket, placing the important papers in the safe. Carlton's lawyer has secured Claire's letter and determines to gain possession of the papers. He hires a number of thugs who assault Harold and carry him away in an automobile. They throw him from the moving machine after obtaining the dummy package which they think contains the valuable documents. On the day of the trial Harold finds himself weak and bandaged in a hospital. He insists upon dressing and leaves against the doctor's advice. He rushes to his office, finds the papers intact and reaches the courtroom just in time to save the day. Although Harold has defeated him, Carlton proves himself a man of his word by consenting to the marriage. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
