Synopsis
Returning from college to take over his father's newspaper, Stephen Stanton changes its editorial policy and comes out against the use of smudge pots to fight frost in the local orange groves. His father, the local politicians, and the rival newspaper conspire against him. After a kidnaping and a daring automobile escape, he unveils a device to eliminate the need for smudge pots, thus winning the day.
