After school Joe calls Bill to accountant and worsts him in a fisticuffs encounter. He also protects Dorothea, the bank president's pretty little daughter, from the bully's unwelcome attentions, and she rewards him by inviting him to her birthday party. But the poor boy has no money to buy Dorothea a present. He is a young man of advanced ideas, however,so applies at the local bank for a loan of 10 cents. The bank president issues the tiny loan with all formality, and the poor boy buys the present and goes to the party. A week later, Joe's loan falls due. He earns the money and hurries away to repay the bank. Arriving after closing hours, he enters a store next door, and finds himself among crooks who are absorbed in breaking into the bank. Joe hides. Following the bandits into the bank, he manages to make his way into a private office where he calls up the bank president on the phone. The police arrive. In the gun fight, Joe is accidentally wounded. The bank president gives the boy's mother a substantial sum of money as a reward of her son's bravery. Dorothea and Joe pledge to be friends all their lives. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
