John Stark, the big boss, is desperate. If he is to deliver the power rights of Twin Falls to the interests he must control the state. A compromise is effected with O'Riley whereby the latter names the governor and Stark the rest of the ticket. O'Riley picks Evan Dexter as a young lawyer who will be easy to handle. With her brother as governor, Lucille Dexter meets O'Riley. She interests him and under her influence he gives up gang politics. The water power bill passes the legislature and is up to the governor. O'Riley won't let him sign. Stark promises Dexter the senatorship; O'Riley promises him the penitentiary. Lucille discovers what her influence has been with O'Riley, and how he has saved her brother, and her respect for him becomes love. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
