When he gets to the studio the director tells him to make up as a crook and visit the tenderloin to get the correct makeup; he does and meets "Red" and his pal, who have just made a haul. Eddie carefully studies Red's garments, then procures an exact duplicate of Red's makeup. Late that afternoon Red and his pal hold up a man but an officer sees, pursues, and overtakes them. After beating up the officer, Red makes his getaway, the officer following closely behind him. The officer finally stops at a patrol box and phones headquarters to send out a general alarm. Working late and wanting to be in time for his appointment, Eddie decides that he will not return to the studio but will return home in his makeup. Arriving home he discovers that he has left the key at the studio and tries to get into the window, but is seen by an officer who grabs him and takes him away with him, Eddie loudly protesting. Red meanwhile is dodging the officers and finally backs into Betty's apartment. She mistakes him for Eddie and kisses him. The officer arrives at the police station and Eddie explains about his makeup. The officer 'phones Betty, who is startled when she learns her mistake. The two struggle, Betty screaming as Red makes off. An officer, hearing her screams, runs on and the two start hunting for Red. Suddenly she sees Eddie, who has hurried from the station. She thinks it is Red and she and the officer start after him, while another officer is pursuing Red. Finally, after much fighting, the two are brought together and Red is hurried off after a fierce struggle. The two lovers are at last left together. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
