Next to the military academy is an orphan asylum in which Dinky has two friends Jojo (George Ernest) and Sammy (Sidney Miller). Dinky shares with them the candy his Mother sends him, for which he is upbraided by the academy “snob,” Jackie Shaw (Richard Quine). When Mrs. Daniel’s employer abseonds, she is convicted of fraud and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. Her attorney, ‘Tom Marsden (Roger Pryor), tells Dinky that his Mother is going to Chicago to open a branch office for her firm and that he will not see her for two years. The mother of the academy snob complains to the superintendent of the academy, Mr. Barnes (Henry O'Neill) for allowing Dinky to remain in the institution when_ his Mother has been convicted of a crime. Mr. Barnes refuses to send Dinky away, so Jackie tells him about his Mother. Dinky is heartbroken and runs away from the academy but is turned over to the police by a truck driver. Marsden arranges for Dinky to be sent to the orphan home, always keeping the truth fron his Mother. A football game is arranged between the children of the home and the academy, and Dinky, who has been made captain of the orphan home team, arranges for uniforms for the players. On the eve of the game, fire breaks out in the orphanage and Dinky is trapped while trying to save the uniforms. He is rescued by Jackie and another cadet. Standish is located in Mexico and extradited. Mrs. Daniels is pardoned, and Marsden brings her to see the game, but they are late in arriving. Dinky, who has been informed that his Mother would be there, is worried when she does not arrive and makes some fumbles that gives the cadets a 6—0 lead. Finally, his mother reaches the field, and when Dinky sees her, he carries the ball over for a touchdown and kicks the goal for the extra winning point. Marsden informs Mrs. Daniels -that Dinky had refused to stay in so that the used for her the military school money might be defense. The boy returns to the military academy where he is promoted to Sergeant, and as the picture fades out, he is shown looking soulfully at his little orphan home sweetheart, Mary (Betty Jean Haney).
