Synopsis
The foreman for Bethel Steel Works, Bill Matthews, works hard to perfect a means for the elimination of waste in steel manufacture. Philip Colt, inheritor of the steel mill, is in love with Daphne Van Steer, whose father is in financial straits. One day, visiting the mill with Philip, Daphne witnesses Bill thrash an insolent workman, and is impressed with his strength though she then snubs him. Bill soon perfects his invention, and coming into great wealth, resolves to become Daphne's social equal by employing socialite May Larrabee to coach him. May schemes to win Bill and his money for herself; however, Bill still wants to marry Daphne and help out her father, a plan to which Daphne finally agrees. Philip's continued pursuit of Daphne ends in a struggle from which Bill rescues her, after which Daphne finally realizes that she has come to really love Bill.
