The story involves a construction foreman who fires one of his crew for fighting, which leads the disgruntled employee to steal. He causes the blame to be put on the foreman, who is finally exonerated when the thief is exposed. All of this conflict is woven in and around the actual construction of the building as the work is in progress. There is even one scene of a hand-to-hand fight between the foreman and the villain that takes place on the unprotected ledge of the steel framework of the building. Some New York City landmarks seen in the film include Union Square (between Broadway and 4th Avenue, 14th-17th Street), and the Everett House, opposite the northeast corner of the square at 17th St. and 4th Avenue. The film includes the original AM&B title frames at head of film. 650 0 Bricklayers |zNew York (State) |zNew York. |=^A453017 650 0 Building trades |xEmployees |vDrama. |=^A826197 650 0 Building trades |zNew York (State) |zNew York. |=^A650737 650 0 Commercial buildings |zNew York (State) |zNew York. |=^A906251 650 0 Construction workers |zNew York (State) |zNew York. |=^A452511 650 0 Skyscrapers |zNew York (State) |zNew York |xDesign and construction. |=^A1018943 650 0 Structural steel workers |zNew York (State) |zNew York. |=^A828170 651 0 Broadway (New York, N.Y.) |=^A339929 651 0 New York (N.Y.) |xBuildings, structures, etc. |=^A311351 651 0 Union Square (New York, N.Y.) |=^A1113531 700 1 Dobson, F.
