The Fearless Lover

• Watchlist

Patrick Casey, new police recruit, is assigned to a tough section of the city, with instructions to manhandle all the crooks. Dugan, leader of a gang, is stopped by Casey from annoying phone operator Enid Sexton, with whom the cop falls in love. The telephone exchange girls strike. While the wires are idle a little boy struck by an auto, dies, because it is impossible to get a doctor quickly by phone. Enid's young brother, Ted, gets mixed up with Dugan's crowd, who plan a silk robbery. Casey uses his influence with his sergeant to let Ted go, if he succeeds in rounding up Dugan's gang. He goes into their headquarters alone, tackles them with club and gun and hunts Dugan to the roof. There the gangster fires at him, but misses. When Dugan's gun is empty Casey goes at him with his fists, beats him up and hauls him to the station. Enid and Casey arrange for early wedding.
