Thomas Brandon is an in-it-to-win-it shyster battling the "soulless corporation" that runs his city's streetcars. With the aid of his expert pal Phil and dipsomaniac doc Prescott, Brandon looks around the edges of the law for the angles that will bleed unscrupulous streetcar magnate Calhoun dry.

Meanwhile, Dorothy discovers she may be working for the wrong side, and that she's the one who has been seduced.
