Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

In this suspenseful silent drama, set amidst the tawdry splendor of a carnival, a female reporter finds her life jeopardized when a jealous fire diver begins thinking that she is after a certain game operator. The diver manages to get the hapless newswoman atop her blazing diving platform. Unfortuantely, something goes wrong and the diver jumps into the empty tank, leaving the heroic huckster to use a rope and the Ferris wheel to save his lady love from immolation.
