As described in a film magazine review,[3] fireman Andy McGee adopts a little orphan girl after the death of his mother. He falls in love with chorus girl Agnes Evans who has a brutal husband. The house where Agnes lives catches fire, and the fire department responds by dispatching Andy's fire brigade. Andy saves Agnes and then attempts to save her drunken husband, but the floor collapses beneath him and he dies. Agnes and Andy are then united.
