Plot
As described in a film magazine, an outcast from home, Jimmy Duncan (Ray) goes to New York City where, under an assumed name, he becomes famous as a playwright. His childhood sweetheart Carol (MacDonald), also goes to the city seeking success on the stage. On the death of Carol's father Jimmy inherits the Chronicle, a newspaper he had been publishing in Worcester. Jimmy returns to clean out the corrupt gang of city politicians using the paper. The extra he prints brings the politicians to his office, including Jimmy's own father, the Rev. John Duncan (Arbuckle). Upon their promise to leave town within the next twenty-four hours, Jimmy suppresses the next edition of the newspaper. His play is also accepted and Carol becomes famous as its leading lady.
