This silent drama is based on a story by Ernest Grayman and is set in a military academy. There a young man toils in the cafeteria to earn tuition money so he too can attend the prestigious school. One day the commandant sees the lad horsing around in an impromptu football game. Seeing that the youth is talented, he enrolls him in the school. Trouble brews when the cadet begins to court the commandant's niece. The courtship enrages another student who frames the hero, causing his dismissal. Fortunately, the commandant staunchly defends the boy and gets him reinstated just in time for the Big Game. Victory and a happy ending ensues.
