Jack has to associate with all sorts and conditions of mankind to gain the coveted goal of being nominated for assemblyman in his district. The ward boss and others of like caliber call on him at his father's house and the father is so enraged that he refuses to help Jack to meet the expenses of his campaign. Jack goes to his political club, meets the boss, tells him of his father's ultimatum. The club refuses to provide the money necessary, so Jack leaves. Not wishing to return home, and wishing to in some manner bring his father over, he evolves a scheme with the boss to humble his father's pride a bit. He joins the motorcycle police, which almost drives his father crazy. The father, a widower, has fallen in love with a charming widow and the father has not told her of his son. In the course of duty, Jack stops a runaway horse and carriage, saving the widow's life. She is most grateful, but does not know nor does Jack reveal his identity. The widow 'phones to Justin Gardner, telling him of her accident, and he fearful of the consequences hurries in his auto toward the widow's home. As he is speeding his son Jack arrests him, hustles him to the station, where he in spite of angry protestations, is compelled to pay a fine. He calls on the widow, finds her smiling and happy and on the spot proposes. Later as the father and widow are about to enter his auto they accidentally meet Jack. The widow throws herself into his arms, hailing him as her hero. The father is mad with jealousy until explanations are made.
