Synopsis

Just returned from college, wealthy Reggie Van Deuzen returns a lost child to her tenement home and meets Agnes, an innocent who has taken a job as a dancer in Gallagher's saloon. Reggie dons working-class clothes and follows Agnes to Gallagher's, where he is hired as a bouncer. While protecting Agnes from the dishonorable intentions of the saloon's patrons, Reggie incurs the wrath of underworld boss Tony, who, failing in his attempts to have Reggie killed, challenges him to a hand-to-hand fight with Agnes as the prize. Reggie emerges victorious and concocts a plan to introduce Agnes to upper-class society, after which he reveals his true identity and the two reaffirm their declarations of love.

Notes

Contemporary reviews call Douglas Fairbanks' character Reggie Morton, but existing prints of the film use the name Reggie Van Deuzen. These reviews also mistakenly spell the name of the actor playing "Tony" as W. E. Lowery.
