Following a fight between Slam and Pete Graves, Graves is shot and killed. Slam is arrested but is released. Meanwhile, Shorty hitches a ride on the rear of the suspect lawyer's car, and learns of a plot to terrorize steel workers into joining a crooked union. Graves's sister tries to shoot Slam, but he decides that running is the most sensible option. Shorty is taken to Jinx Tower, where he is thrown off a girder, but is rescued by Slam swinging past on a rope. Slam gets the lawyer to confess everything and gets kissed by Sally Graves as a reward.
