Plot
As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] Patsy (Miller) is the scrappy little daughter of an ignorant lazy Irishman (Louis) who lives in Hogan's Alley. Her sweetheart Lefty O'Brien (Blue) is a prize-fighter, but this does not suit her father who wants her to marry a rich man. Lefty is arrested when his opponent in the fight fails to regain consciousness. Patsy is hurt and Lefty calls Dr. Franklin (Barrie), a swell doctor who takes a shine to Patsy and invites her and her father to his lodge. He proves to be a villain who attempts to sweep her off her feet. Lefty follows their train but his car is wrecked by the locomotive. With Patsy now on a runaway train, Lefty hires an airplane and transfers from it to the train, knocks out the villain, and stops the engine just before it runs into a landslide.
