Plot

As described in a film magazine review, [2] Larry Donovan, owner of a printing business, tells his credit manager Joe Merrill that if he cannot collect a seven-year-old bill for $25.11 against Tim Perrin in a week, he is through. Donovan also tells Glenn Collins that if he does not get Perrin's account within a week, he is through, too. Both young men are thrown out of Perrin's cement yard. Joe goes to a modiste shop owned by Perrin, ready to park there until he receives payment. He makes various attempts to see Perrin, who finally beats him up and wrecks the shop. When Merrill wins the love of Perrin's daughter and, with her connivance, finally secures the payment of the bill, Perrin capitulates and offers him a job.
