As described in a film magazine review,^[3] Jack Ames joins the police force after getting a reputation for racing, and beating, motorcycle riding coppers. His fiancée, Mary Bryant, is wooed by Wendell Martin, the brains of a gang of smugglers. Mary's brother Charles is also an involuntary member of the gang. When Mary is thrown in front of a train in an automobile crash, Jack rescues her. He then saves her brother from the vengeance of the smugglers. When he follows the gang on his motorcycle, his machine is thrown off a high cliff into the ocean. Martin kidnaps Mary and puts her on his ship.
