Dir: Charles E. Davenport
An honest man, elected Governor of New York, refuses to appoint a man chosen by Boss Tally, the party leader, to an important position having jurisdiction over a large amount of state funds, even though Tally threatens to have the governor removed from office. In revenge, Tally persuades his son Archie to break his engagement to the governor's daughter Ruth. After Tally and his political lieutenants work out a plan to frame the governor so that he will be impeached, a clerk in Tally's office, who is Ruth's friend, informs her of the plot. Ruth and her friend get a dictagraph record and motion pictures from a hidden camera of the boss and his aides conspiring. When Tally has the trial rushed, the governor's lawyer requests a postponement until Ruth arrives with her evidence, but this is denied. Detained by Tally's thugs, Ruth races in an auto to the courtroom, but she arrives too late to stop the governor from being impeached on the first ballot.
