Pompleton at the suggestion of his wife enters the railroad station and asks the ticket agent where they can find the nearest and cheapest hotel. The star leading lady of the noted company drops her lavaliere, made of plate glass and paste, on the floor. The station agent picks it up and asks her how much she will sell it for. The lavaliere is sold for three dollars. Jed Perkins, a would-be sleuth of the town, receives a badge, star, belt, handcuffs and the regular paraphernalia used by town constables from a detective correspondence school. A five hundred thousand dollar jewel robbery adorns the front page of the town newspaper. Having secured enough money to hold them over at the hotel for a couple of days, Augustus Pompleton and his wife register and go to their room, to determine how to reach New York. During the absence of the porter, Perkins volunteers to take some ice water up to them. He discovers the performers sorting out some stage jewels. He immediately comes to the conclusion that these two are the thieves wanted in New York in connection with the big robbery. Because of the misunderstanding, the actors are taken to New York by the correspondence sleuth. Having arrived at the police station the captain discharges the couple, and has the would-be detective locked up. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
