Steve Andrews gets himself at a steel mill but soon makes an enemy of fellow worker Bill Morgan by winning a competition as the most productive worker and then beating him at arm wrestling. He wins the admiration of the landlady of the boarding house and her ten-year old son but then disappoints them both by moving to another lodging and taking up with Della, the girlfriend of his rival worker. Eventually he is able to redeem himself.
