Fanny meets Bert Bailey, who has just started a new paper, called "The Era." She tells him of the treatment she has received and they plan revenge. They catch Mrs. Bulger in the conservatory spooning with a long-haired poet and they take a snapshot of them, which interesting picture Fanny publishes in the Eagle, with her account of the ball. Mrs. Bulger is furious at the sensation caused and demands Fanny's dismissal. Fanny is discharged, and while lying on her bed that night, crying, she overhears two men who occupy the room next to her, planning a bank robbery. She "shadows" them and assured a big "scoop," offers to sell it to several of the big newspapers, but they are skeptical and finally she takes it to Bert. He is delighted when Fanny puts her proposition to him and agrees to take her "scoop." He offers her a share of the profits and a position on the paper, provided the "scoop" turns out well. Hidden in Fanny's room, Bert and Fanny overhear more of the robber's plans and finds out that the caretaker of the bank has been bribed to help them. Bert then goes to his friend, Detective Kelly, and puts the story before him. They tell Mr. Jamieson, the manager of the bank, and on the night when the robbery is to take place, Kelly, Bert and Fanny are all put in the strong-room, so as to be in at the death, as Bert puts it. The robbers are admitted by the caretaker and are captured after a struggle in which Fanny saves Bert's life. Next morning, the New Era is out with extras telling of the capture of the robbers, the circulation trebles in a single day. The editors of the Guardian and the Eagle, the two large newspapers, find out too late what a mistake they made. Jamieson is so delighted with what Fanny and Bert have done, he advances capital to publish the New Era on a larger scale. As for Fanny and Bert, they decide to become partners in the newspaper and partners for life as well. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
