Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
Herbert Rawlinson starred in this silent, action melodrama based on Gerald Beaumont's Red Book Magazine serial. A tough neighborhood cop, John Francis Foley loses his nerve when he believes that he almost killed Tillie Miller (Ruth Dwyer), the girl he loves. In reality, Tillie's injuries were inflicted by gangster Spike Kennedy (Eddie Gribbon), and the film culminates in a thrilling gunfight between the two. Esther Ralston, on the verge of becoming a major star, appeared as one of Dwyer's girlfriends in this low-budget Universal release.
