Synopsis
Pat Riley, an aspiring young newspaper columnist, envies the big assignments given to Tom Collins, who is working on a bootlegging story. Pat is sent to get a story on a new musical revue being produced by Mervin Le Roy, a well-known impresario of doubtful reputation, and meets Tom's daughter, Ruth, who is a chorus girl. Later he learns that Tom has been killed by the bootleggers; and swearing revenge on Tom's killers, Pat manages to take over Tom's assignment. Ruth is to dance at a large houseparty given by Le Roy, who has designs on her, but the appearance of Pat makes him hesitate; his men capture Pat after a fight, but he escapes and reveals the identity of the gang leader to the police. He rescues Ruth from the clutches of Le Roy, who is arrested as the murderer of her father.
