Unless he is found and returned to the head of his company by 7AM, disgrace will fall on him and his fiancée Ellen Ferguson. Ellen is also loved by the new assistant secretary of war, Richard Ralston, who does not know of her engagement, Worried by Steadwell's continued absence, Ellen appeals to Dick to find him. Dick sets out to locate him, and the trail leads to Gladys, an actress whose photo was on Steadwell's table. Gladys agrees to assist in the search. They go into a swell restaurant, and Ellen, seeing them, thinks Dick is not searching for Steadwell. In the restaurant they meet Sullivan, the last man seen with Steadwell, but he refuses to give any information. A fight follows in which Dick delivers a crushing blow to the other's chin and knocks him unconscious. They pack Sullivan into a cab, where they try to revive him, but thinking he has killed him, Dick asks Gladys to telegraph the President his resignation, but she refuses and the search continues. At Sullivan's home they finally revive him and force him to tell that Steadwell is in the room above. As they go up, Sullivan signals to his friends above by tapping on the wall. When they get up, they are shot at from the inside, and Dick falls as if wounded. When the two gamblers in the room come over, he jumps up, and covering them with his gun, locks them in a closet. Inside the room they find Steadwell, stupefied from drink. They finally get him out and he joins his regiment in time for the departure. Steadwell on meeting Ellen agrees to release her from their engagement, and Ellen, learning that Dick was responsible for Steadwell's return, allows him to see that the lovelight in her eyes is for him alone.
