Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Jimmy Hennessy, a keen-witted lad of the slums, is trying manfully to fend the wolf from the door of his bed-ridden mother on the meager wage of a messenger boy. Rose Hargreaves and Jack Peabody, a very likable young couple, have had a sweetheart’s quarrel. Rose decides to break her engagement to Jack. She summons a messenger to return Jack her ring. Jimmy, as a messenger boy, responds to the summons. His precocious nature readily discerns the trouble existing between the estranged pair, and in his boyish frank manner and slang laden expressions, proceeds to re-unite the alienated couple. His methods of effecting this result are ingenious. He is successful, but not until a flying ambulance has made a life cripple of the little messenger of peace.
