The film tells the story of a woman, Lou (Dorothy Mackaill), who comes between a man, Nifty Miller (Milton Sills), and his estranged son Chris (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.). Nifty is a carnival barker who is in love with a dancing girl and is ambitious to have his son, Chris, become a lawyer. Chris has other ideas and during his vacation he hops a freight, joins the carnival, and weds a dancing girl (Mackaill). Eventually, Chris fulfills the ambition his father had for him.
