Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[2] Joe Regan, a young traffic officer who has adopted an orphaned boy, takes his charge to a seaside resort to help him recuperate from an injury. There he meets Alicia Davidson, a young woman whom he has met in the line of duty, and a warm friendship develops. The young woman's father one night becomes intoxicated while in the company of the policeman, and the latter is blamed. However, Alicia relents, and when the policeman saves her and others from death, she promises to become his wife.
