Dick Carter, aged six, and an orphan, lives with his grandparents. The only resource of the family is the army pension of the old man. Just when the money is needed most, it is lost by the old veteran. The little boy, impressed by the magnitude of the job, writes a letter to Heaven for help, but, as he cannot reach the mall box, puts it into the slot of a hitching post. "The Noisy Six," the chief mischief makers of their college class, on a night raid, drag away the hitching post, and are much sobered when they intercept the letter of the orphan boy to Heaven. They return the post to its original location with a letter of reply enclosed. Then they follow the boy home and surreptitiously slip in the amount of money that was lost. The boy and old Carter are led to believe that the money has come straight from Heaven. "The Noisy Six" stopped their mischief-making for an errand of mercy, and impressed youth in the faith of the higher power.
