Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
A soldier of fortune, Robert Garland (Robert Frazer), foolishly announces to the press that all men are cowards, including himself. Thus begins this very minor comedy-drama from Poverty Row company Banner Productions. A friend (William Bertram) wants to test Garland's theory and advertises for a coward to call at his home. Garland shows up and suitably acts the coward -- until, that is, he must fight a bully (James Gordon) in order to save lovely Isabell Purviance from the dastardly Colonel Ortegas (Harry S. Northrup). His blanket statement proven incorrect, Garland happily settles down to a new life with Isabell.
