Like many others in the Italian districts, they crowd their household goods on the fire escape, and on account of this a love romance was born. Larry Howard, the chief of the battalion of the Fire Department in the Messano district, receives orders from headquarters to clear off all obstructions from the fire escapes. This he starts out to do, and arrives in time to save Rosita from an attack at the hands of Vincenzo, a young Italian whom Luigi wishes his daughter to marry, but for whom she does not care. Rosita visits her rescuer the next day, but is seen by Vincenzo who tells her father. The latter forbids the lovers the right to see each other, and for days they do not meet. One day Vincenzo and Luigi call upon the latter's daughter for a final answer regarding Rosita's marriage to the young Italian. Rosita refuses to marry the ruffian, who goes to the floor above to enjoy a bottle or two of Chianti with his friend. They both get intoxicated, and the lamp is thrown to the floor, The curtains take fire, and in a moment the entire room is a mass of flames. Rosita is locked in the floor above. Larry happens to be at his desk at the moment the alarm is turned in by the drunken father, and he with his engine and apparatus rushes to the scene and rescues Rosita from her perilous position. Luigi out of gratitude to his daughter's savior, permits them to see each other more frequently, and as Vincenzo has gracefully stepped from the field, one can imagine the result.
