Synopsis: [The Moving Picture World, 13 December 1924, page ?] The fun centers around a street car conductor who, though badly in debt and engaged to a fair damsel, succumbs to the wiles of a cabaret vamp. She leads him a merry chase, winning a diamond ring partly paid for and a car owned to some extent. But love’s sweet dream dissolves when rain falls and car wrecks, forcing man and maid to splash home through mud ankle-deep.
