As described in a film magazine review,[2] Mamie Rose, little mender of the shop of Old Levi, is loved by Mike Kildare, a pugilist and ward heeler of the Bowery of New York City. She repulses his advances, horrified by his business, but still fascinated by the tough man's brute strength and animal attraction. When he discovers that his love for her is a true and holy thing, he forsakes his gang. They then lay a trap for him and Mike ends up horribly beaten in an underground den. Then follows a gripping endowment, in which Mike wins the love of the young woman and joins forces with society against the law breakers of his former days.
With no prints of Fools Highway located in any film archives,[3] it is a lost film.
