She takes a cab but the driver has had a bit too much and it is not long before he loses control of the cab and the vehicle goes careening up the road. It is wrecked and the outcome of the whole affair is that Alice is stranded. But in the meantime she has witnessed a murder and rushes to the police station to tell the authorities about it. She claims that she is a detective. The authorities decide to take a chance and give Alive a badge of power. It is not long before Alice gets on the trail of the crooks and they begin to see that the town is not a safe resting place for their carcasses. So they leave, but not before Alice sees them in the act. They know that she is the only eyewitness of their deed of crime and so they decide that the only way out for them is to dispose of Alice. Accordingly they attack the poor girl, as soon as she gets outside the city limits and Alice takes refuge in a deserted shack. But the crooks find her in this refuge and decide that she must be killed. They toss a coin to decide which one should do the dirty work. Alice says that she did not see the crime but this does not stop these villains. They go for her and she leads them a merry chase all around the hut. But at last she is cornered and is about to be killed when her dog comes with the aid that she has sent him for. So all ends happily as Alice gets the reward that was offered for the capture of the criminal. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
