There Jimmy is the under dog in several affairs of the fists but stays on the job because of his interest in Jerry Luther, daughter of 'Dad' Luther, a foreman. It develops that Dawson is double-crossing the elder Reed and Jimmy suddenly finds himself and prevents the wrecking of the dam. Then Jerry accepts his suit and Jimmy's father rejoices in an upstanding, fearless son." ( Moving Picture World, 6 Dec 1924, ...
