The elder Stephens sees the young man start off on an auto trip with some gay friends and decides to call a halt. He notifies his son by telegram that it is time he went to work, and presents him with a factory. This arouses his friends' merriment, but Hal declares that he will buckle down and go to work, but he tells his father that he desires to start incog, and the father consents. He enters the factory and goes to work as an ordinary laborer, his identity unknown to all. He meets young working girl Lou and falls in love with her. The manager of the place, Conners, tries to make love to Lou, and Hal protects her. An order is put up that reduces salaries 10%, and Lou induces the others to strike rather than submit. The strikers, starved out, finally return to work, with the exception of Lou, who is defiant to the end. Hal finds her weeping on the steps of her home and tells her of his love. She agrees to marry him. After she has accepted him, he leads her to the factory, announces his identity, assumes possession, and restores wages to the old scale after discharging the rogue Conners.
