Synopsis

Rosie O'Grady, a little "newsy" of the East side, idolizes champion prizefighter "Cyclone" Johnny Allen. When Rosie is insulted by a masher, her brother Chimmie gives the man a thrashing, but during the scuffle, Chimmie is badly hurt. While taking care of the newsstand for her brother, Rosie meets Johnny Allen who, after several dates, suggests that Rosie accompany him to Europe. Taking advantage of her innocence, Johnny has a mock marriage performed and then casts Rosie aside once they reach Europe. With the aid of the ambassador, Rosie returns to America where she learns that her brother has killed Johnny to avenge her and has just been brought to trial. He is sentenced to death, but just when things seem darkest, Rosie wakes up to find that it has all been a dream.
