Synopsis

Telegraph operator Rolandsen has invented a glue better than the product made by his town's powerful factory owner. His ambitions become entangled with a succession of romantic schemes and public embarrassments. Needing money, he falsely admits to a burglary to collect a reward, a maneuver that costs him far more than he expects.
