As directed by James Cruze, the picture shows rival gangs of a large city engaged in a bitter, lethal feud. Meighan portrays a powerful criminal' lawyer who ~rings a temporary truce between the gangs, only to find their activity has plunged him into a tragic situation in regard to his love of a beautiful society girl. He discovers that her father is the real leader of the underworld, and when he later becomes district attorney, he is faced with the alternative of betraying his trust to the state or disclosing his sweetheart's father's machinations. A strong cast surrounds Meighan in this amazingly vivid production. The society girl is played by Marietta Millner, Viennese beauty who was his leading woman in "We're All Gamblers." The rival gangsters are played by Fred Kohler and Duke Martin, while their respective underworld girls are Louise Brooks and Nancy Phillips. Others in ·the cast are Wyndham Standing, Charles Hill Mailes, King Zany and "Gunboat" Smith.
