Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Danny Eagan (Reed Howes) is on trial for his life, charged with the murder of a prominent gangster leader. Danny refuses to defend himself, knowing that it would mean jeopardizing the reputation of his sweetheart Mary Norfleet (Josephine Dunn). Making matters even dicier is the fact that Mary is the daughter of the prosecuting attorney (Lee Shumway). Finally, the girl comes forth to deliver the vital evidence that she was with Danny on the night of murder, and together, hero and heroine uncover the identity of the real killer. Mary Carr, perennial movie mother of the silent era, plays Danny's ma.
