Plot

As described in a film magazine reviews, discouraged with his ne’er do well son, Ronald, John Bentley consents to a plot to send him to New York City where it is planned to get him into as much trouble as possible so that he will soon want to leave the metropolis. Ronald gets mixed up in a jewel robbery, fights in a night club, is arrested, figures in the thrilling capture of a yeggman and, being found innocent, returns to Iowa with his telephone operator bride.
