At the practice game the day before, Jim Ralston, the half-back, gets a telegram from his mother saying it is imperative for him to be at his home the next day to sign some papers for the settlement of an estate. Ed Hobart, the substitute, looks over Jim's shoulder, reads the telegram and sees an opportunity to play in Ralston's place. Billy Hanks, one of the boys of the college, loans Ralston his car to drive to his home, thirty-five miles away, so as to be back in time for the game. Ed Hobart gets a pal of his, Fred Owens, to follow in another car, telling him to let the gasoline out of the tank of Ralston's automobile. The gasoline is emptied and he, Fred Owens, stops at a road house for refreshments, confident of his success. Upon the discovery of the loss of the power in Jim's car, the old lawyer starts to drive by a short cut to the nearest garage. Accidentally they run across Fred's automobile in front of the road house. Ralston tries to bribe the chauffeur. He refuses to accept but by the dint of muscular persuasion he is soon speeding along. In the meantime the game is very close. In fact it looks bad for Ralston's side and when he reaches the oval the score is six to six and four minutes to play. Ralston gets a big reception and proves to be just in the nick of time to save the day. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
