Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this action-romance, a fireman captures a lovely little arsonist while heading out to fight a fire. He later has a debilitating accident and becomes a fire inspector upon the waterfront. There he discovers that his lover's father has been manufacturing explosives illegally. Now he must decide whether to ignore the violation and keep his love, or to turn the man in. He dutifully decides to report the violation. It's a good thing too, as the illegal factory catches fire and endangers the girl inside it. The brave fire inspector saves the girl, causing her father to allow them to finally marry.
