- Martin O'Day, professional gambler and saloon-keeper, has bet heavily on the New York Yankees winning from the Giants in the deciding game between the two clubs for the championship of New York City. O'Day has been led to believe that Bert Kerrigan, star pitcher of the Giants, will not be in condition to play. At the last moment, however, McGraw, to the consternation of the Yankee backers, announces that Kerrigan will pitch. Realizing that he stands to lose many thousands of dollars, O'Day decides to kidnap Kerrigan. The pitcher is engaged to marry Rita Malone, and has already furnished an apartment for his bride-to-be. O'Day sends an anonymous letter to Rita, warning her that Kerrigan has another girlfriend, and that if she calls at a certain hotel at 9 o'clock the morning of the game, she can get proof of his duplicity. He also sends a letter to Kerrigan, telling him that Rita is untrue and visits the hotel. Kerrigan is told to watch a certain window of the hotel at 9:30 the next morning. Rita, greatly worried, writes to Beatrice Fairfax, who confides in Jimmy Barton, the newspaper reporter. Jimmy is already working on the story of the ball game, and has had several interviews with Donovan, of the Yankees, and McGraw, of the Giants. He knows that O'Day is betting heavily on the Giants and goes to see him. Meantime Rita and Kerrigan have separately gone to the hotel. Rita is escorted into a room, the window of which Kerrigan is watching. She is seized from behind and her face is covered with kisses. From the street it seems to Kerrigan that she is returning the caresses. He rushes up to the room, is trapped, captured and bound. One of the gang then sends a note to O'Day, telling him that Kerrigan is trapped and being held. The note arrives, while Jimmy, feigning drunkenness, is talking to O'Day. Jimmy sees its contents and covers O'Day with a revolver. Then he makes the gambler write a note to his subordinates, telling them to obey orders from Jimmy, after which he locks O'Day in a vault. Jimmy hurries to the hotel, presents the note and secures possession of Kerrigan and Rita. It is then afternoon and the ball game is on. Beatrice has just arrived at the hotel too. The four leap into an automobile and there is a wild race through the city streets to the Polo Grounds, in which several policemen take part. The fifth inning is being played when they finally reach the crowded grounds, and the score is 2 to 0 in favor of the Yankees. The Giants bat and score three runs in the sixth, giving them a lead of one. The Yanks come back in their half and the first three men up get on bases. Kerrigan has hurried to the clubhouse and at this stage of the game appears on the field in uniform. "It's up to you to save us, Bert," says McGraw to Kerrigan, "there's three on and nobody out." Kerrigan goes on, strikes out the next three and holds the Yankees safe for the remaining innings, the Giants winning, 3 to 2. It is not until after the game that Kerrigan can explain his mysterious absence to Manager McGraw. Then, too, Rita and Kerrigan explain their presence at the hotel and Jimmy tells of O'Day's attempt to wreck their lives to accomplish his end. While the great crowd is surging from the grounds, Beatrice and Jimmy hurry to their offices to write the story.

- Jaffery Chayne is the spectacular one of four chums, the others being Hilary Freeth, a literary man, Adrian Boldero, a short story writer, and Tom Castleton, a playwright. The story opens with Tom Castleton going on a voyage for his health and leaving with his friend, Adrian, the manuscript of the first novel he ever attempted. Shortly after Castleton's trip, he dies at sea and when word is received by Adrian of his friend's death, the temptation to secure the girl he loves by publishing his friend's novel and taking the money and credit from it is so strong that he succumbs and becomes the "literary lion of the hour." Jaffery returns to London with the widow of his associate, who is an Albanian chieftain's daughter, the last one of her tribe. Jaffery arrives in London with this strange woman and she is introduced into the household of Hilary Freeth and meets Jaffery's friends. Adrian brings his sweetheart, Doria, and when she is introduced to Jaffery, it is a case of love, on Jaffery's part, at first sight, he having no eyes for Liosha, the widow desperately in love with him. Doria, however, marries Adrian, supposed to be the great author, and Jaffery leaves Liosha in London and then goes on another expedition. On his return he finds Adrian dead. His love for the wife, Doria, is as strong as ever and he tenderly cares for her and takes charge of Adrian's affairs. When Jaffery and Hilary are appointed the legal executors of Adrian's estate they find the original novel in Castleton's handwriting and nothing that could be made into a second novel from the pen of Adrian. They realize that Adrian has stolen his fame and fortune and that his conscience really has killed him. Jaffery realizes that the knowledge of this will probably be the death blow to Doria, who has always worshiped Adrian as a genius, so he takes the papers home and puts them out of sight in his desk and then begins to go through his own experiences and from them he writes a novel, signs it with Adrian's name and gives it to the publishers as the second work of the literary genius. The novel does make a tremendous sensation. When Jaffery proposes marriage to Doria she refuses him. The former starts on a long voyage. Liosha begs to go, too. Jaffery consents. The result is the strengthening of the love of Liosha for Jaffery. Doria learns the perfidy of her late husband and offers to be the wife of Jaffery in gratitude for his self-sacrifice. Jaffery, however, discovers he loves Liosha and Doria releases him.
