Synopsis
Although his sister Barbara supports him by working as a cashier for a lumber company, Tony Grey is eager to escape her care and their home in Waterburg to go to New York. Tony's pal Jack Newton, the son of the lumber company owner robs her cashier's cage to pay back pool hall proprietor "Slick" Simmons. He plants Tony's scarf-pin near the cage, and gives Tony enough money to get to New York, not telling him about the robbery. Barbara sees the pin and suspects Tony but says nothing and goes to a reformatory for a year. Tony returns when Barbara's sweetheart Harry Chambers tells him what happened, but Jack and Simmons capture him and hold him prisoner in a roadhouse attic. Disguising herself as a boy, Barbara finds Tony and takes his place in the attic while he signs an affidavit with the district attorney. She wildly fights off Jack and Simmons until Harry arrives and the crooks are arrested.
