While in her home, he learns that her father George faces financial ruin unless Yale can raise a large sum of money within 24 hours. Taking a job in a brokerage house during a raid on the market, Yale obtains access to the stocks that could save Trevor. Borrowing the stocks, Yale places them on the market and lends the proceeds to Trevor. The sale of the stocks paints Yale as a thief, and crooked broker Jack Millington, in whose charge the securities had been placed, determines to apprehend Yale and consummate Trevor's ruin. Milligan's secretary Millie warns Yale, who determines to retrieve the stocks. A car race between Yale and Millington results in the return of the securities in due time. Meanwhile, Blanche has eloped with an old suitor, and Yale realizes that he has fallen in love with Minnie. Written by AFI See less
