Out West the Masons were a fighting clan, but Hal Mason took to art, although representing himself to his uncle to be a fighting business man. Hal meets Patsy, a slum damsel, who saves him from a beating from rowdies. Meanwhile uncle arrives and is disillusioned. He tries in vain to make Hal defend himself, and finally turns him out of the house. Hal, however, says he'll come back - and when he does he'll lick uncle. Time passes and Hal, a victim of a press agent's dream, is elected to the aldermanship, but in winning he has been forced to encounter a crooked "ward heeler" and with the aid of a pugilist learns how to use his hands to advantage. Comes the day when Hal returns home, defeats his uncle, knocking him out, and introduces friend wife.
