Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Little Nellie is a poor but honest working girl and no match for the unscrupulous Max, who is working for her downfall. In attempting to elude Max, Nellie is knocked down by an automobile, driven by Bob, her lover. Bob takes the girl into his machine. Unseen by Bob, Max climbs into the back seat of the machine and at an opportune moment, knocks Bob over the head and drives away with the defenseless girl. He takes her to a secluded spot, but his evil designs are as naught against her simplicity. With a well-aimed blow she knocks the villain unconscious and escapes. Max recovers, hires two roughs to aid him, and pursues the girl to the place of her employment. He has her discharged and when she leaves the store he again captures her. Bob, the youthful hero, traces Nellie and her abductors to a den of iniquity. There is a terrific fight and Bob is captured and tied to a tree. A dynamite bomb is lighted and placed a few feet from him. With a tremendous effort Bob tears up the tree by the roots and severs his bonds by means of the burning fuse. With the bomb he lights his cigarette and then hurls the explosive at the ruffians. He saves Nellie in the nick of time from the villainous Max. The defenseless girl then drags her savior to the nearest justice of the peace.
