As described in a film magazine review, [3] Lucy leaves her husband, fireman Richard Fay, to be with the politician Perry Dunn. Eighteen years later, Dick is a fire battalion chief. His adopted daughter Drina meets the modeste Madame Celeste, who really is the missing Lucy. Dunn decoys Drina to his apartment. Fire breaks out and Dick and his men arrive. Dick discovers Drina in the building and gets her away to safety, and then thrashes Dunn. Trapped in the flames, he lowers Dunn to safety. Dick and his men escape along a narrow cornice, pressed against the wall in single file, until out of the building. Drina is taken home by Lucy, and later a reconciliation follows.
