Synopsis
"'Burn 'em up Barnes,' the youthful and speed-mad son of a millionaire manufacturer of high-powered motor cars, ... leaves home when his father taunts him on his indifference to business and sneers at his ability to do anything useful. A band of crooks waylay him, rob him of his clothes and throw him, unconscious, into an empty freight car, which happens to be carrying a gang of tramps, who adopt him as one of their number. The idea appeals to Barnes and he goes with them on a career of adventure which lands him in a small town where there is a very pretty girl needing his assistance, and he gives it. Of course, there are complications, because the village Beau Brummel pays court to the young lady and resents the intrusion of a tramp; and things look mighty dark for 'Burn 'em up' Barnes when he is arrested for kidnapping a baby. Everything comes out all right in the end but there is a surprise finish." (from Moving Picture World, 10 Sep 1921, p211.)

Mascot pictures produced a 1934 film that was also entitled Burn 'Em Up Barnes, directed by Colbert Clark and starring jJack Mulhall. Although the 1934 and 1921 pictures have some similarities, they are otherwise unrelated (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1931-40).
