As described in a film magazine reviews,[4] The Great Maranelli, who does a head slide on a wire for a circus, is forced to give up this work. He becomes a salesman for a light and power company owned by Henry Langdon. Langdon has started an amusement park in partnership with George Trent, who seeks to gain entire control by telling Langdon that he cannot sell the concessions. Langdon gives his stock to his daughter Dorothy, who engages Maranelli and Sawdust Sam to help her. Maranelli soon disposes of the concessions. Trent, in an endeavor to force Dorothy to sign over her stock to him, takes her prisoner. He also instructs one of his henchman to wreck the plant used to furnish light for the opening night of the park. In making the connection from the main power plant to the park plant, Sam sees Dorothy imprisoned. He notifies Maranelli, who rescues Dorothy. She makes Maranelli and Sam her partners and agrees to give her hand to Maranelli in matrimony.
