Jack and the girl fall in love, but Doyle is also in love with her and Schwartz endeavors to force his daughter into a marriage with him. She refuses, and matters are at a deadlock until Krausmeyer, a saloonkeeper, sees Jack and Minnie making love on the fire-escape. He tells Doyle and Schwartz and an exciting chase follows, up and down the fire-escape and in and out of windows. Jack saves Harris, the wealthy politician, on the ground floor, from being robbed by Carlo, Doyle's tool, and Doyle is "sent up," while Jack is made Harris' secretary. Schwartz very gladly consents to the marriage of Jack and Minnie. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
