Synopsis
Alice, a little newsgirl known as "Sticks," spends her time fighting for her territory against a lot of tough kids. When Sticks witnesses an attack upon her favorite customer, the wealthy young James Morgan, she tries to defend him and, as a result, they are both knocked unconscious by the thugs and thrown on a baggage car. Awakening in a small town, they decide to stay. Morgan finds a job with the railroad and they take up house in a small cottage until Morgan's father and his sweetheart, Ruth Borden, discover his hiding place. Overhearing their conversation, Sticks thinks that Morgan is staying just for her and so she leaves him and later is adopted by a wealthy man. Morgan loses all sight of his little pal until years later when he chances to visit her adopted father's house on business and finds her. Discovering that their strong attachment has endured through the years, the two decide to marry.

Notes
This film was also called Sticks. Although Wid's called this a Balboa film, it is uncertain whether the Horkheimer brothers were producing under the name of Balboa at this time.
