During this journey, he encounters a wealthy woman named Mary, and the two fall in love. The plot takes a dramatic turn when Harold discovers that Mary is preparing to marry a man who is already wed. To prevent the wedding, the protagonist embarks on a hair-raising, daredevil ride to reach her in time. The film features performances by Jobyna Ralston, Richard Daniels, and Carlton Griffin.
