For Jim was the best fire horse in the business. In every department of his profession he was so nearly perfect that few could discern any trifling flaws. Morgan, the farmer who bought Jim, found him an exceedingly useful addition. The only trouble was that they could not ring any bells about the farm. Whenever they did, Jim would dash out of his stall and stand waiting to have his harness put on. Joe Berry, one of Morgan's farm hands, was in love with Betty Morgan. Betty liked him but she felt that she was better than he was. When Nick Sharp appeared from the city and started to shower her with attentions, she dropped Joe. Nick was different than awkward country bumpkins like Joe. All Nick was after was the legacy Betty had lately received from a distant relative. Betty, a mere child in Sharp's experienced hands, consented to run away with him when Joe and the Morgans had gone into town. Hitching Old Jim up to a rig, they started out. Suddenly, Old Jim heard a fire hell ringing. He pricked up his ears, and turning around started for the sound. Sharp tugged at the reins in vain. Jim knew his duty, and did not intend to be dissuaded from its performance. So he kept on at full speed until he brought Sharp and Betty to the fire. In the crowd in front of the blazing building were Joe and Betty's father and mother. There was a constable. While her parents were pouring their reproaches into Betty's ears, the constable arrested Sharp. He was wanted for several other little escapades of a similar character to this attempt. Betty decided that she had made a pretty big mistake, and told Joe her decision. Then they all drove back to the farm together. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
