As described in a film magazine review, [3] David Keith, although engaged to a young woman of the town, comes to love Lola Nichols, a cabaret dancer who pretends to love him in order to obtain information on the layout of a bank that she and her gang intend to rob. When Keith's uncle discovers the plan, he is killed by one of the woman's confederates. Keith is accused of the murder and sent to prison. Just a few minutes before he is set to be executed, he is pardoned by the governor through the efforts of his sister Katherine and her sweetheart Steve, who have secured evidence that establishes his innocence.

Film Booking Offices of America (FBO), registered as FBO Pictures Corp., was an American film studio of the silent era, a midsize producer and distributor of mostly low-budget films. The business began in 1918 as Robertson-Cole, an Anglo-American import-export company. Robertson-Cole began distributing films in the United States that December and opened a Los Angeles production facility in 1920. Late that year, R-C entered into a working relationship with East Coast financier Joseph P. Kennedy. A business reorganization in 1922 led to its assumption of the FBO name, first for all its distribution operations and ultimately for its own productions as well. Through Kennedy, the studio contracted with Western leading man Fred Thomson, who grew by 1925 into one of Hollywood's most popular stars. Thomson was just one of several silent screen cowboys with whom FBO became identified.
