Plot

As described in a review of the film in a film magazine, [2] Sledge (Farnum), the political boss of a small city, combines with a promoter to establish a new street car line. In the meantime he sees and falls in love with Molly (Miller), the daughter of the president of the existing street car line, but is opposed by Bert Glider (Webb), a lounge lizard. Sledge starts his wooing of Molly and impresses her with his force and lavishness of his presents, but she thinks he is uncouth, resents his attempts to dominate her and prepares to marry Glider. Sledge kidnaps her but relents and sends her back home. She learns that Glider is a scoundrel and finally agrees to marry Sledge.
