Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] Steve Riley, a cub reporter, is sent out to cover a feud between two large families. He becomes the enemy of both, because he wishes to marry Alice, a young woman from one family, and does not wish to marry a young woman of the other, even though she loves him. After a series of dangerous adventures, he is rescued. He returns to the office of his paper with a big story and a new wife.
