Thru the Flames

Dan Merrill, a fireman celebrated for his daring rescues, is abruptly discharged after his physiological aversion to smoke renders him incapable of remaining in a burning chamber. His dismissal becomes fodder for his adversaries, who whisper to his sweetheart, Mary Fenton, that Merrill's exit betrays cowardice. Determined to reclaim his honor, Merrill embarks on a covert pursuit of a criminal syndicate that masks robberies with arson, leaving a trail of smoldering evidence. As he shadows the felons through a labyrinth of infernos and intrigue, his ingenuity and bravery surface anew, culminating in a climactic showdown where he extinguishes the flames of deceit, restores his standing with the fire department, and secures his bond with Mary.
