Synopsis: [The Moving Picture World, 6 December 1924, page 547] Jimmy Reed had everything but courage, so his father shipped him off to work under Roger Dawson, engineer, on a big dam the elder Reed was building. There Jimmy is the under dog in several affairs of the fists but stays on the job because of his interest in Jerry Luther, daughter of ‘Dad’ Luther, a foreman. It develops that Dawson is double-crossing the elder Reed and Jimmy suddenly finds himself and prevents the wrecking of the dam. Then Jerry accepts his suit and Jimmy’s father rejoices in an upstanding, fearless son.
