She visits his house just as the mayor leaves it in an automobile. A valise belonging to the mayor drops off and Pearl finds it. She enters the house believing the mayor will return for it. The butler admits her and bids her wait. She enters the parlor. Meanwhile, "Natty" Nixon, a sneak thief, finds the door open and enters the house. Pearl mistakes him for the mayor. He plays the part. Later, he locks her in the room and tries to escape, taking the valise Pearl found with him. The butler sees him and chases him down the street, finally capturing him. Meanwhile the mayor returns and discovers Pearl. He thinks she is a thief and she thinks the same of him. He cows her with a revolver and is about to phone the police when by a trick she wrests a revolver from him. She phones the police and two policemen are sent to the mayor's mansion on the double-quick. They enter just as the butler returns with "Natty" and eventually all entanglements being straightened out. Pearl gets the interview and all ends well.
