Her sweetheart arranges a plot to make the chief think his daughter has been kidnapped, hoping to be assigned to the case, prove his ability, and win the chief's approval. The daughter leaves the house, and her sweetheart sends news of the kidnapping to the chief. The star detective gets the assignment. Upon reaching the rendezvous, the daughter is bound and gagged by a bandit and his accomplice. The star detective follows the scent, and reaches the haunt of the bandit, where he is forced to guard the chief's daughter. In this compromising position he is discovered by the girl's sweetheart and her father. The star detective is disgraced and the girl and her sweetheart receive the blessing of the chief.
