Plot
As described in a review in a film magazine, Reginald Mallory (Bowers) has been susceptible to flattery since youth. Politicians make him city engineer so that they may have a goat, and he is wheedled into signing a contract without reading it. All lose faith in Mallory except Betty Biddle (De La Motte), his sweetheart, daughter of the president of a construction company. Mallory apparently plays the game and turns crooked, but in the end it is discovered that he has been obtaining evidence against the crooks.
