The Road of Ambition
“"In the seething cauldrons of molten steel Bill Matthews saw visions of wealth and power and the golden glow of the blast furnace was the light that showed the way onward and upward to realization. An inspiring story of romance and determination."”

Drama
Bill Matthews, foreman for Bethel Steel, works hard to perfect a means for the elimination of waste in steel manufacture. Philip Colt, inheritor of the steel mill, is in love with Daphne Van Steer, whose father is in financial straits. One day, visiting the mill with Philip, Daphne witnesses Bill thrash an insolent workman, and is impressed with his strength though she then snubs him. Bill soon perfects his invention, and coming into great wealth, resolves to become Daphne's social equal by employing socialite May Larrabee to coach him.
