A band of kidnappers read the item and plan to capture and hold her for ransom. A nut detective reads the activities of a band of kidnappers and determines to go on their trail. Spencer Spunk, who loves Vera, goes to call on her. Before he reaches the house, however, she has a tiff with her father and in order to repay him, leaves a note that she has been kidnapped. She goes walking in the park. Spunk arrives at the house and is accused by the father. To clear himself, he determines to rescue Vera. Vera, walking in the park, is spotted by the kidnappers, who grab her. As she struggles Spunk rescues her. The nut detective arrives with cops and pursues Spunk, believing him to be the kidnapper. Spunk takes Vera home and a fond reunion occurs. At this point the cops arrive, led by the nut. Spunk and Vera take refuge in her boudoir and when the nut comes in he chastises her. The nut creeps along the window ledge to another window, dislodging some flowerpots on the crooks who have arrived. The crooks enter the house and throw Vera in a trunk. They go out and Vera, leaping up, throws the nut into a trunk. The crooks throw the trunk out of the window, tie it to Spunk's racing car, and dash off. Wild pursuit, during which the nut opens the trunk and tries to escape. The machine plunges off a cliff. The crooks open the trunk, expecting to find Vera. They find the nut and submit to capture.
