- James "Jimmy" Jefferson Lee, a wealthy, idle, adventure-loving young Long Islander, practices jumping his horse, an endeavor that cost his father his life. Jimmy begins a beautiful friendship with Jane when he accepts her dare to dive with her from the seventy-feet-high roof of the Yacht Club into the sparkling sound below. Displeased with Jimmy's shiftless ways, however, Jane prods him into devoting some time to his business interests, especially the All-American Tire Co., of which his rival, stodgy Harold Polk, is general manager. Jimmy's unconventional methods result in resignations by all the company's executives, but he manfully steers the business to financial success and, meanwhile, rides a dangerous horse called "Homicide"--thereby silencing those who scoffed at him and winning Jane's heart.
- When aged Jeremy Ellsworth decides to settle his fortune on John and Beatrice, the children of his disinherited son, he sends for them to come live with him. Beatrice arrives safely, but James Gault, Ellsworth's secretary, intercepts the letter to John and engages Phil Carter to pose as the heir. John, a lumber camp foreman, hears of the plot, hastens to the Ellsworth home, and is overpowered by ruffians, who also kidnap Beatrice. Escaping his captors, John rescues his sister from a speedboat with the aid of a hydroplane and finds love with Beatrice's governess.
