Plot
Steve Mason, a worker firing at the Stillman iron foundry rebukes the owner's daughter Janet for reckless driving. Instead of firing him as she demands, Stillman promotes the young man. Eventually he rises to be a trusted employee, and when Stillman dies he leaves Mason in control of the business. He faces deep resentment from the old man's snobbish children, who conspire with a rival businessman to launch a takeover bid. Janet joins in at first, but has a change of heart as her feelings for Mason develop.
