A favorite of Fate, she always starts on the wrong trail only to be gently lifted by the wind of chance and planted with her feat success. Blackie Crow, a crook, well known to the police, borrows a gold watch from a helpless old man. The old man objects and Jack runs to the police station with him. After describing the crook, the old man identifies a photo of Blackie as the hero of his adventure. Blackie has meanwhile disguised as a sailor. Jack tells Bess of the trouble. She too disguises as a sailor. The chief of police, thinking to earn the $200 reward, also disguises as Blackie. Bess thinks him the real crook, follows to the ship where Blackie is hid. After complications, the crook is caught and Bess gets the reward. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
