Jane works as stenographer for Jason and Hicks, a pair of get-rick-quick swindlers, suspected by the police. Dean has been trying for a long time to get something on them, but without success. Jane discovers their crookedness and that they are about to get away with it. However, they find out that she knows, and make her a prisoner in the room where Jason has hidden his cash. The partners sell their furniture to the nearest second-hand dealer who happens to be Jane's father, and Jason sends Hicks for their railway tickets, saying that he will meet him with the money. The furniture dealer's men failing to arrive, Jason scribbles them a note on a piece of loose paper lying on the bare table. He does not notice that under it is a sheet of carbon. Hicks goes to the depot, and the furniture is taken away. Jack Dean, in passing the store, stops to inquire for his sweetheart. He sees on the table the carbon impression of the note warning the men not to let the girl out of the inner room, and recognizes the signature of Jane's employer. Jane is rescued, the crooks captured, and Dean gets a clean beat for his paper. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
