Featuring Ralph Lewis, Johnnie Walker, Virginia True Boardman, and Frankie Lee For twenty years Dan McDowell had sat on the driver's seat of Engine 27 and urged his three horses to the fires. Then came the motor apparatus. The horses were sold as so much junk. Dan's hands were too old to master tlie steering wheel. He was discarded, retired at a small pension. Johnnie, his son, was studying medicine. To keep him in college required money. Dan, after a weary search, was reduced to digging in the streets. There he met "Bullett," the old fire-horse, pulling the dirt-cart. Man and beast — discarded as useless. Old McDowell's humiliation was complete when he was accused of stealing the old fire-horse he loved so well. Then he was exonerated and released from prison just in time to hurry to a big fire. On his way he met "Bullet," again broken loose, and following the habit of years in answering the clanging bell. Arrived at the fire Dan found that his son Johnnie and June, his sweetheart, were imprisoned beneath a pile of debris. Mounting "Bullet," Dan rushed through the flames and the horse, hitched to the debris, freed the prisoners. Johnnie was able to finish his medical course and marry the girl of his heart while Dan found happiness in his appointment as guardian of the ex-fire horses who had been pensioned and placed under his care for the remainder of their days. A grippingly dramatic story of American home life; of the devotion and sacrifices of a father ; of the loyalty and fealty of a son. Combined with its tense drama and tender romance are some of the greatest thrills ever yet seen upon the screen. 4744 feet standard length — on 5 reels Rental $7.50 8117 Code SECIR The Foolish Age R.C.
