- Young New Yorker Mason (Frank Merrill), who loves a good fight, runs for public office. As part of his election campaign he agrees to not get involved in any fights and refuses to respond with violence to even the most heavy provocation. All this disappoints his wealthy uncle, who erroneously believes Mason is a weak coward.—Pamela Short
- Out West the Masons were a fighting clan, but Hal Mason took to art, although representing himself to his uncle to be a fighting business man. Hal meets Patsy, a slum damsel, who saves him from a beating from rowdies. Meanwhile uncle arrives and is disillusioned. He tries in vain to make Hal defend himself, and finally turns him out of the house. Hal, however, says he'll come back - and when he does he'll lick uncle. Time passes and Hal, a victim of a press agent's dream, is elected to the aldermanship, but in winning he has been forced to encounter a crooked "ward heeler" and with the aid of a pugilist learns how to use his hands to advantage. Comes the day when Hal returns home, defeats his uncle, knocking him out, and introduces friend wife.—Motion Picture News, November 24, 1923
- Mason, a young New York gentleman who is good with his fists, runs for public office under the terms of an agreement that forbids him to fight during the pre-election period. During this time, his rich uncle comes east and soon expresses great disappointment in Mason, who refuses to fight after the worst of provocations and insults. During a political speech in the gashouse district, Mason is set upon by a gang of ruffians, and he runs for his life. The brutes then attack Mason's girl, however, and Mason quickly shows them what getting hit by a ton of bricks feels like. Mason later wins the election, marries the girl, and gains the affection of his wealthy uncle.—AFI
