He incurs the enmity of Joe Slattery, a perverted, prevaricating reporter on the Evening Times. Slattery watches Murray and secures his revenge when the officer is bested by a crowd of young hoodlums whom he is trying to discipline. In the mix-up, Murray loses his star. Slattery gets his paper to print a sensational story which results in Murray being discharged from the force. Slattery's poor old mother, an apple peddler, who has often been befriended by Murray, induces him to secure a job in a nearby candy factory. Murray does so and is soon beloved by all the employees. One day an explosion occurs in the factory and within a few moments the old rattle trap building is one mass of flames. A panic ensues among the employees, who are mostly women and children. Murray takes in the situation, and, with an exhibition of bravery, carries the employees to safety, including Slattery's mother, the old apple woman. In effecting their escape, however, his own is cut off and he faces almost certain death in the burning building. He finally manages to get to the roof of the factory and calls to some steel workers on the building next door. At last they hear him and rescue him, by use of the steel hoisting derrick. They are just in time for the roof tumbles in just as they lift him in the air. When he is safe on the ground again he finds that the story of his bravery has traveled ahead of him and he is vindicated by the crowd and his old chief.
