Adam Loomis had been a member of the Cedarville Fire Department for years, but when Tom had the honor of being elected to that distinguished body, he refused to accept. It was suspected that Tom's mother hadn't exactly urged him to join. Now, Anne Hull had more spirit. At the humiliating news of her fiancé's cowardice, she had thrown him over for Bud Lodge. One dreadfully dark, windy night, the Hull's house got afire. Mrs. Hull escaped, but Anne was entrapped in her room. Before the fire department could get into their new uniforms, Tom Loomis had rushed in through the smoke and flame, and saved the girl. Everybody wondered then how Tom ever came through alive. He was frightfully burned, and the fire department went in a body to the hospital and presented him with a cup. Bud Lodge was forced to retire from Anne's favor, and fire bells were succeeded by wedding bells before the year was up. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
